Question

1/R+1/3R=1/Rtot solve for Rtot

Answer 1

\[\frac{1}{R}+\frac{1}{3R}=\frac{1}{R_{tot}}\]
this?

Answer 2

yes

Answer 3

start by simplifying
\[\frac{1}{R}+\frac{1}{3R}=?\]
then multiply the answer by 1 so that the numerator will be equal to 1

\[1=\frac{2}{2}=\frac{\frac{1}{2}}{\frac{1}{2}}\]

then the denominator will be R_tot

Answer 4

can you solve I do not understand

Answer 5

ok then ill just simplify the first part
\[\frac{1}{R}+\frac{1}{3R}\]
\[1*\frac{1}{R}+\frac{1}{3R}\]
\[\frac{3}{3}*\frac{1}{R}+\frac{1}{3R}\]
\[\frac{3}{3R}+\frac{1}{3R}\]
\[\frac{4}{3R}\]

Answer 6

good luck with the rest

Answer 7

4/3R=1/Rtot 4Rtot=3R?

Answer 8

yes keep going

Answer 9

emmm I dont know how to keep going

Answer 10

there is 2 diffrent variables

Answer 11

thats fine, just solve for R_tot in terms of R

Answer 12

so Rtot= 3R/4?

Answer 13

yea thats it

Answer 14

Thanks so much !!!!!!

Answer 15

no prob
