A little Algebra, and we're home free!

We are given R = 20 and r2 = 75. We need to find r1.

The formula is 1/R = 1/r1 + 1/r2. Plug-in:
1/20 = 1/r1 + 1/75
1/20 - 1/75 = 1/r1
0.0366 = 1/r1
r1 = 1/0.03666
r1 = 27.272

Our answer is r1 = 27 ohms.

Answer:

The correct answer is c. 27\Omega

Step-by-step explanation:

- The first step is to get the r_1 variable for alone on one side.

\frac{1}{r}=\frac{1}{r_1}+\frac{1}{r_2}

  • Pass the term \frac{1}{r_2} to subtract to the left side.

\frac{1}{r}-\frac{1}{r_2}=\frac{1}{r_1}

  • Pass the term \frac{1}{r}-\frac{1}{r_2} to divide to the right side and pass the term r_1 to multiply to the left side.

r_1=\frac{1}{\frac{1}{r}-\frac{1}{r_2}}

- The second step is to replace the values of r and r_2 into the previous expression.

r_1=\frac{1}{\frac{1}{20}-\frac{1}{75}}

- The third step is to perform the operations to simplify the expression.

r_1=\frac{1}{0.05-0.01333}

r_1=\frac{1}{0.03666}

r_1=27.2727\Omega

As it is necessary to round the answer, the value of r_1 is 27\Omega.

Thus, the correct answer is c. 27\Omega

Given f(x) = -x^2 - 2x + 4, find each of the following,
tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

Symmetric point: x = -1; (-1, 5)

Minimum of f: None; approaches -∞.

Maximum of f: y = 5.

Is f(x) a one-to-one: No, it fails the horizontal line test and is not injective.

Increasing from: -∞ to -1; (-∞, -1)

Decreasing from: -1 to ∞. (-1, ∞)
