Answer:

a)

\bf \frac{\partial R}{\partial R_1}=\frac{R_2^2}{(R_1+R_2)^2}

\bf \frac{\partial R}{\partial R_2}=\frac{R_1^2}{(R_1+R_2)^2}

b) and c)

See explanation below

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

The combined resistance R is a function of the the two  

parallel  resistances

\bf \frac{1}{R}=\frac{1}{R_1}+\frac{1}{R_2}=\frac{R_1+R_2}{R_1R_2}

So

\bf R(R_1,R_2)=\frac{R_1R_2}{R_1+R_2}

and we have

\bf \frac{\partial R}{\partial R_1}=\frac{R_2(R_1+R_2)-R_1R_2}{(R_1+R_2)^2}=\frac{R_2^2}{(R_1+R_2)^2}

Similarly,

\bf \frac{\partial R}{\partial R_2}=\frac{R_1(R_1+R_2)-R_1R_2}{(R_1+R_2)^2}=\frac{R_1^2}{(R_1+R_2)^2}

b)

If we divide both the numerator and denominator by \bf R_1 in the expression for R, we get

\bf R=\frac{R_2}{1+R_2/R_1}

hence, if we held \bf R_2 constant and increase \bf R_1 the fraction \bf \frac{R_2}{R_1} gets smaller and so does the denominator of R, as a consequence R gets larger.

When \bf R_1 is very large, the denominator of R is close to 1, so R is close to \bf R_2

c)

By a symmetric reasoning, we see that R gets larger when holding \bf R_1 constant and \bf R_2 increases.

In this case, R gets closer to \bf R_1 as \bf R_2 grows.

kap26 [50]

Answer:

<h2><em><u>0.6 = 6/10 = 3/5 is the answer.</u></em></h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

0.6 = 6/10 = 3/5

is the answer

This is because you have to substitute.

Given:

x = 3

y = -1

Unknown:

Final Answer

(x*y^2)/5

((3)(-1*-1)/5

= (3*1)/5

<h2><em><u>= 3/5</u></em></h2><h2><em><u>= 6/10</u></em></h2><h2><em><u>= 0.6</u></em></h2><h2><em><u></u></em></h2>

Hope this helped,

A toll-free sales line sold 85 products for every 125 calls in one day. What is the daily success rate of the sales line? A. 0.1
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

C. 0.68

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

number of products sold in a day by toll-free sales line = 85 products

number of calls in a day = 125

The daily success rate of the sales line is given by the ratio of the total products in a day to total number of calls in a day.

The daily success rate of the sales line = total products sold / number of calls

The daily success rate of the sales line = 85 / 125

The daily success rate of the sales line = 0.68

Therefore, the daily success rate of the sales line is 0.68
