Answer:
Problem: 5.24 - 4.93
Step-by-step explanation:
You subtract just like a normal Addition problem however you MUST make sure the decimal point line up,...
1st: subtract the 3 from the 4 [0.01]
2nd: subtract the 9 from the 2 (make the 2 a 12 (by carrying a one from the 5 (which then becomes a 4))) [0.30]
3rd: Finally subtract the 4 from the 4,... 0
<em>Answer = 0.31,...</em>
A more summed up answer: Subtracting (and adding for that matter) decimals happens exactly like normal. However you MUST MAKE SURE that your decimal points are lined up,... if you are subtracting a 0.09 from a 4.5 and the 4.5 doesn't have a hundredths place just remember that you can add a 0 on the end (4.50) without chancing it's value. (and then just subtract like normal)

Answer:
a)
The combined resistance of a circuit consisting of two resistors in parallel is given by:
where
R is the combined resistance
are the two resistors
We can re-write the expression as follows:
Or
In order to see if the function is increasing in r1, we calculate the derivative with respect to r1: if the derivative if > 0, then the function is increasing.
The derivative of R with respect to r1 is:
We notice that the derivative is a fraction of two squared terms: therefore, both factors are positive, so the derivative is always positive, and this means that R is an increasing function of r1.
b)
To solve this part, we use again the expression for R written in part a:
We start by noticing that there is a limit on the allowed values for r1: in fact, r1 must be strictly positive,
So the interval of allowed values for r1 is
From part a), we also said that the function is increasing versus r1 over the whole domain. This means that if we consider a certain interval
a ≤ r1 ≤ b
The maximum of the function (R) will occur at the maximum value of r1 in this interval: so, at
