Explanation:
Given that,
Two resistors of resistance 6 ohm and 3 ohm are connected in series and then in parallel.
For series combination,

For parallel combination,

When 6 ohm and 3 ohm are in series,

When 6 ohm and 3 ohm are in paralle,

So, the equivalent resistance in series combination is 9 ohms and in parallel combination it is 2 ohms.
Given :
The focal length of a concave mirror is 18 cm.
To Find :
The radius of curvature of the concave mirror.
Solution :
We know,

Therefore, the radius of curvature of concave mirror is 36 cm.
Hence, this is the required solution.
Dalton's atomic theory was the first complete attempt to describe all matter in terms of atoms and their properties. ... The first part of his theory states that all matter is made of atoms, which are indivisible. The second part of the theory says all atoms of a given element are identical in mass and properties.
Let us say that x is the cut that we will make on the
sides to make a box, therefore the new dimensions are:
l = 15 – 2x
w = 8 – 2x
It is 2x since we cut on two sides.
We know that volume is:
V = l w x
V = (15 – 2x) (8 – 2x) x
V = 120x – 30x^2 – 16x^2 + 4x^3
V = 120x – 46x^2 + 4x^3
Taking the 1st derivative:
dV/dx = 120 – 92x + 12x^2
Set dV/dx = 0 to get maxima:
120 – 92x + 12x^2 = 0
Divide by 12:
x^2 – (92/12)x + 10 = 0
(x – (92/24))^2 = -10 + (92/24)^2
x - 92/24 = ±2.17
x = 1.66, 6
We cannot have x = 6 because that will make our w
negative, so:
x = 1.66 inches
So the largest volume is:
V = 120x – 46x^2 + 4x^3
V = 120(1.66) – 46(1.66)^2 + 4(1.66)^3
V = 90.74 cubic inches
