Given:
The power generated by an electrical circuit (in watts) as a function of its current x (in amperes) is modeled by
To find:
The current which will produce the maximum power.
Solution:
We have,
Differentiate with respect to x.
...(i)
To find the extreme point equate P'(x)=0.
Divide both sides by -30.
Differentiate (i) with respect to x.
(Maximum)
It means, the given function is maximum at x=4.
Therefore, the current of 4 amperes will produce the maximum power.

Ques 1)
We know that if a graph is stretched by a factor of a then the transformation if given by:
f(x) → a f(x)
Also, we know that the translation of a function k units to the right or to the left is given by:
f(x) → f(x+k)
where if k>0 then the shift is k units to the left
and if k<0 then the shift is k units to the right.
Here the graph of f(x) is transformed into the graph of g(x) by a vertical stretch of 4 units and a translation of 4 units right.
This means that the function g(x) is given by:
Ques 2)
We know that the transformation of the type:
f(x) → f(x)+k
is a shift or translation of the function k units up or down depending on k.
If k>0 then the shift is k units up.
and if k<0 then the shift is k units down.
Here, The graph of the function f(x)=|3x| is translated 4 units up.
This means that the transformed function g(x) is given by:
