The equation W=120I-6I^2 represents the power (W) in watts that a 120 volt circuit can deliver if it has a resistance of 6 ohms. What is the maximum power, in watts, that can be delivered by this circuit?

\n" ); document.write( "6=-6I^2 + 120 + 0.
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Set 120I - 6I^2 = 0 and find the vertex
\n" ); document.write( "The max is at I = 10 amps.
\n" ); document.write( "W = 1200 - 600 = 600 watts \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
