Problem 3. If two resistors with resistances R1 and R2 are connected in parallel (circuit) then
the total resistance R measured in ohms () is given by R = R11 + R12 . If R1 and R2 are increasing
as rates of 0.3 /s and 0.2 /s, respectively, how fast is total resistance, R, changing when
R1 = 80 and R2 = 100 .
