Answer:

The maximum power generated by the circuit is 300 watts.

Step-by-step explanation:

A quadratic function is one that can be written as an equation of the form:

f (x) = ax² + bx + c

where a, b and c (called terms) are any real numbers and a is nonzero.

In this case, f(x) is P(c) [the power generated], x is the current c (in amperes), a = -12, b = 120 and c = 0.

The vertex is a point that is part of the parabola, which has the value as ordered  minimum or maximum function. If the scalar a> 0, the parabola opens or faces up and the vertex is the minimum of the function. In contrast, if a <0, the parabola opens downward and the vertex is the maximum of the function.

The calculation of the vertex, which in this case will be the maximum of the function, is carried out as follows:

  • The value of x, in this case the value of current c in amperes, can be calculated with the formula c=\frac{-b}{2*a} . In this case: c=\frac{-120}{2*(-12)} So c= 5 amperes. The current is 5 amperes.
  • The value of y, in this case the value of the electric current in watts, is obtained by substituting the value of c previously obtained in the function. In this case: P(5)= -12*5²+120*5. So P(5)= 300 watts

Which expression is a cube root of -1+ i sqrt 3? (multiple choice)
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the magnitude   (-1)^2  + (sqrt3)^2 = m^2   m = 2

find the angle    arctan (sqrt3/-1) = 120 degrees

the cube root would then be

\sqrt[3]{2}(cos 40 + isin 40)

I will make you brainliest pls help me
Licemer1 [7]

1) 8

2) 6(5x+2y) factor out greatest common factor

3) 10.8 just move over decimal two places to the left.

4) 30t=150? Then t=5kg Im not sure what the last one is asking, but I’m assuming it’s to solve for t.

If the circumference of a circle measures 25.12cm, what is the area of the circle in terms of pi?
kiruha [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for circumfrance is 2*(pi)*R and the formula for area is (pi)* R^2 or (pi) R-squared.

Circumfrance is 25.12 so....

25.12 = 2 * (pi) R........ you want to find R because you need it to find the area

R is about 4; it is 3.99797 .

You use the R that you goot from cirdumfrance to find area.

Area = (pi) (4)^2 = 50. 265

or is you prefer a more precise answer, Area = 50.2145
