I will solve this equation simultaneously by Substitution.

- x + y = 2
5x + 4y = 17

Solve - x + y = 2 for y:
- x + y + x = 2 + x (here we add x to both sides)
y = x + 2

Substitute x + 2 for y in 5x + 4y = 17
5x + 4y = 17
5x + 4(x + 2) = 17
5x + 4x + 8 = 17
9x + 8 = 17 (simplify both sides of the equation)
9x + 8 + (-8) = 17 + (-8) (add -8 to both sides)
9x = 9
9x/9 = 9/9 (divide both sides by 9)

x = 1

Substitute 1 for x in y = x + 2
y = x + 2
y = 1 + 2
y = 3 ( simplify both sides of the equation)

Therefore x = 1 and y = 3

The power generated by an electrical circuit (in watts) as function of its current x (in amperes) is modeled by: P(x)=-12x^2 +12
Minchanka [31]

Given:

The power generated by an electrical circuit (in watts) as function of its current x (in amperes) is modeled by:

P(x)=-12x^2+120x

To find:

The current that will produce the maximum power.

Solution:

We have,

P(x)=-12x^2+120x

Here, leading coefficient is negative. So, it is a downward parabola.

Vertex of a downward parabola is the point of maxima.

If a parabola is f(x)=ax^2+bx+c, then

Vertex=\left(\dfrac{-b}{2a},f(\dfrac{-b}{2a})\right)

In the given function, a=-12 and b=120. So,

-\dfrac{b}{2a}=-\dfrac{120}{2(-12)}

-\dfrac{b}{2a}=-\dfrac{120}{-24}

-\dfrac{b}{2a}=5

Putting x=5 in the given function, we get

P(5)=-12(5)^2+120(5)

P(5)=-12(25)+600

P(5)=-300+600

P(5)=300

Therefore, 5 watt current will produce the maximum power of 300 amperes.

Daniel has 12 tennis balls. Manual has twice as many tennis balls as Daniel. Kendra has twice as many balls as Manuel . How many
77julia77 [94]
Daniel -- 12 balls

Manuel -- 12 balls × 2 = 24

Kendra -- 24 balls x 2 = 48

12 + 24 + 48 = 84 balls total
