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.
