Need help in Aptitude Question

Keep in mind that the goal is to relate the limits on Req in relation to the values of R1 and R2. We aren't looking for the limits on Req for all values of R1 and R2, but for the specific values they happen to be.

So we can't just say that R1 could be zero ohms. It can't. R1 is whatever R1 is.

Let's use an example to illustrate the practical point.

You have two resistors, R1 = 1800 Ω and R2 = 2200 Ω. Without batting any eye or doing any more work than dividing by two, you know that the parallel combination of these two resistors has to be more than 900 Ω (half the smaller one) but can't be more than 1100 Ω (half the larger). The question that I posed is aimed at establishing this relationship. Picking another two values, R1 = 1800 Ω and R2 = 8200 Ω. As before, we know that the value has to be more than 900 Ω and less than 4100 Ω, but the other part of the question allows us to know that the largest it can be is 1800 Ω (the smaller of the two). Again, the point of the question is to show that this is the case, instead of just accepting it on faith.
Thanks, @WBahn !!!:) --- The more I thought about the exercise - the more it seemed I may be misapprehending its intento_O -- thus my (as it turns out well advised) decision to 'pass' on its presentation:)

Best regards

Flying was a hobby for me -- though I always wanted to get my instructor's ticket so that at least others could pay for most of my flight time. I'm definitely not a rich man and flying is sufficiently expensive that I never was able to do a lot of it. I only have a little over 300 hours pilot-in-command time. I haven't flown in over a decade and, due to health issues, there's a good chance I will never fly pilot-in-command again.
For whatever reason @RRITESH KAKKAR Seems unfamiliar with the concept of 'hobbies':confused: -- Perhaps it owes to cultural differences???

Best regards
HP:)

I'll chat with you in ≈ 34 hours from the time stamp on this post --- In the meantime please work on @WBahn 's exercise bearing mind that he is a real teacher!:cool:

When I return I can show you how to manipulate expressions containing inequalities and absolute values - would you be interested in that???

Best regards
HP:)

Hello,

Ever thought on imaginairy numbers?
Bertus
RRITESH KAKKAR If you think about imaginary numbers in everyday experience you can understand things like
electrical reactance
mechanical elasticity and other static force and reaction
principal like of a bank loan

And like that! Imaginary numbers aren't really imaginary at all! That's misnomer cuz ppl run out of names for concepts then just get silly like they did when named the types of quarks:D

Now I give you three exercises that I say you already know enough to do!

1 If complex number is written in rectangular form like 32+12i which you can think of like 32+(-144)^.5
What are the angle and magnitude when you think about it as vector?

2 If a rectangle measures 10i meters by 20i meters it has area of NEGATIVE 200 meters! Tell us what is implication of negative area?

3 If a rectangle measures (5+10i) meters by (7-4i) meters it has area of (75+50i) meters. Tell us what is implication of complex area? I give you help with this one only to say that 25*(13)^.5 meters is NOT its area!

RRITESH KAKKAR at first I skeptical about HP and Wbahn helping you out:oops: Now I think you are eager student after all!:) Plz don't stop learning:)!

HP Don't you dare give him answers with your TMI hints:mad:! I say you can help him if he doesn't understand questions but that's it!

RRITESH KAKKAR HP said for me to see if you doing your math studies while she's away and I see you logged but not doing work so I'm going to inform on you, you little truant:p!

Yes, if you are willing to use both values in the bound, you can come up with a tighter bound.

This one might be a good one to use to show RRITESH the idea here.

Regardless of whether R1 is bigger than R2, we know that, since anything squared is non-negative, that

0 < (R1-R2)²

If we multiply this out, we get

0 < R1² - 2R1R2 + R2²

If we add 4R1R2 to both sides we get

4R1R2 < R1² + 2R1R2 + R2²

The right hand side is simply

4R1R2 < (R1 + R2)²

Dividing both sides by (R1 + R2) we get

(4R1R2)/(R1 + R2) < (R1 + R2)

and dividing both sides by 4 we get

(R1R2)/(R1 + R2) < (R1 + R2)/4

The left hand side we now recognize as being Req, so

Req < (R1 + R2)/4

Of course, Req < R1 becomes the tighter bound as soon as R2 > 3R1
What was this?

yesterday, i got √-1=i
in everyday experience
where?

1 If complex number is written in rectangular form like 32+12i which you can think of like 32+(-144)^.5
What are the angle and magnitude when you think about it as vector?
32+12i=32+(-144)^2

i have done in class something like tanQ=12/32
so, Q=20.5*degree
c=√32²+12²=34.17

HP is woman, I not sure about lady:p!

I give you three problems to solve on post 705 and Wbahn gave you problem of limits on paralleling two resistors! I can't coach you all night like HP cuz I have to live my life:cool:! HP wanted me to give you encouragement to do studies so here I am:D Have good luck! HP says she maybe back on here tomorrow:cool:

What was salary per 300hours?
I didn't get paid to fly, I PAID to fly. The aircraft rental, for most of the time, was $68/hour (that was for a T-41B from the aeroclub at the Air Force Academy -- sweet airplane). When I was training the cost of an instructor was an additional $24/hr. The 300 hours was spread out over nearly 30 years (mostly in three concentrated groups of about a year a piece).
