Answer

$I_{rms} = 2.59~A$

Work Step by Step

We can find $Z$: $Z = \sqrt{R^2+(X_L-X_C)^2}$ $Z = \sqrt{R^2+(\omega_d~L-\frac{1}{\omega_d~C})^2}$ $Z = \sqrt{R^2+(2\pi~f_d~L-\frac{1}{2\pi~f_d~C})^2}$ $Z = \sqrt{(15.0~\Omega)^2+[(2\pi)(550~Hz)(0.025~H)-\frac{1}{(2\pi)~(550~Hz)~(4.70\times 10^{-6}~F)}]^2}$ $Z = \sqrt{(15.0~\Omega)^2+(24.83~\Omega)^2}$ $Z = 29.0~\Omega$ We can find $I_{rms}$: $I_{rms} = \frac{\mathscr{E}_{rms}}{Z}$ $I_{rms} = \frac{75.0~V}{29.0~\Omega}$ $I_{rms} = 2.59~A$
