Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
Using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle.
The square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other 2 sides, that is
x² + 32² = 48²
x² + 1024 = 2304 ( subtract 1024 from both sides )
x² = 1280 ( take the square root of both sides )
x =
=
= ×
= 16 → C
Answer:
5 amperes will produce the maximum power
Step-by-step explanation:
The power generated by an electrical circuit (in watts) as a function of its current c (in amperes) is modeled by: P(c)= -12c^2 + 120c.
To find out the maximum power we need to find the vertex
formula to find x -coordinate of vertex is
P(c)= -12c^2 + 120c is given in the form of y=ax^2+bx+c
a= -12, b = 120
c= 5 amperes will produce the maximum power
