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

An expression is shown below:
olganol [36]

Answer:

An expression is shown below:

10n³− 15n² + 20xn² − 30xn

Part A: Rewrite the expression so the GCF is factored completely. (4 points)

10n³− 15n² + 20xn² − 30xn

2*5*n*n*n-5*3*n*n+2*5*2*x*n*n-2*5*3*x*n

<u>Greatest</u><u> </u><u>common</u><u> </u><u>factor</u><u>=</u><u>5</u><u>*</u><u>n</u><u>=</u><u>5</u><u>n</u>

Part B: Rewrite the expression completely factored. Show the steps of your work.

Solution given;

10n³− 15n² + 20xn² − 30xn

5n(2n²-3n+4xn-6x)

5n(2n²+4xn-3n-6x)

5n(2n(n+2x)-3(n+2x))

<u>5n(n+2x)(2n-3</u>)
