If two resistors with resistances R1 and R2 are connected
in parallel, as in the figure, then the total resistance R , measured in ohms (Ω ), is given by
1/R= 1/R1 +1/R2
If R1 and r2 are increasing at rates of 0.3 Ω/s and 0.2 Ω/s ,
respectively, how fast is R changing when R1 = 80Ω/s and R2 =100Ω
?

- A 100-W (watt) light bulb has resistance R = 143 2 (ohms) when attached to household current, where voltage varies as V = Vo sin(27ft), where Vo = 110 V, f = 60 Hz. The power supplied to the bulb is P = J/s (joules per second) and the R total energy expended over a time period [0, T] (in seconds) is T U = P(t) dt Compute U if the bulb remains on for 7 hours. (Use decimal notation. Give your answer to one decimal place.) U = Jarrow_forwardA cement mixer is pouring concrete in a conical pile. At the time when the height and base radius of the concrete cone are, respectively, 3 and 12 feet, the rate at which the height is increasing is 1 feet per minute, and the rate at which the volume of cement in the pile is increasing is 96π cubic feet per minute. At that moment, how fast is the radius of the cone changing? (Volume of a cone with radius r and height h is given by V=13πr2h.)
