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.

Find the slope of the line that passes through the points (10,8) and (4,12)​
JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

The slope is -2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope of a line between two points, we use the equation

m = (y2-y1)/ (x2-x1)

where (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) are the two points

m = (12-8)/(4-10)

   = 4/-6

   = -2/3

The slope is -2/3

A newly hired basketball coach promised a high-paced attack that will put more points on the board than the team’s previously te
puteri [66]

Answer:

a. z = 2.00

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

The study variable is "Points per game of a high school team"

The hypothesis is that the average score per game is greater than before, so the parameter to test is the population mean (μ)

The hypothesis is:

H₀: μ ≤ 99

H₁: μ > 99

α: 0.01

There is no information about the variable distribution, I'll apply the Central Limit Theorem and approximate the sample mean (X[bar]) to normal since whether you use a Z or t-test, you need your variable to be at least approximately normal. Considering the sample size (n=36) I'd rather use a Z-test than a t-test.

The statistic value under the null hypothesis is:

Z= X[bar] - μ  = 101 - 99 = 2

σ/√n 6/√36

I don't have σ, but since this is an approximation I can use the value of S instead.

I hope it helps!

STatiana [176]
Answer: The simplified express is 10m + 20.5 where m represents the total number of months.

To start we can write the following two expressions for her expenses.
8.5 + 62.5m   and     12 + 3.75m

Then, adding the two expressions together will give us a combined expression of:  10m + 20.5
