 The maximum power into the load happens when `v_(op)` is at its maximum possible value of `V_(C C)`.
-===== Required supply power =====
+===== Required supply power for given output =====
 We start by calculating `bar(P_S)_(V+)`, the average power over one cycle delivered by the power supply to the transistor connected to `V_(C C)` (i.e., the "positive" transistor). Letting `i_(C+)` be the collector current flowing through that transistor, this is calculated as:
