Answer: 252
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
The power generated by an electrical circuit (in watts) as function of its current x (in amperes) is modeled by:

To find:
The current that will produce the maximum power.
Solution:
We have,

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
, then

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



Putting x=5 in the given function, we get




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

Answer:
x = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
The two right triangles share angle A, so the similarity statement can be written ...
ΔABC ~ ΔADE
Corresponding sides are proportional, so we have ...
BC/DE = AB/AD
x/12 = 3/(3+9)
x = 3 . . . . . . . . . . multiply by 12
