Question 633804: the total resistance R of two resistors in parallel is given by R=1/1/R1(the 1 is little and below the R) +1/R2(2 is also tiny) where R1(1 tiny) is the resistance of the first and R2(2 tiny) the resistance of the second. Solve that equation for R1(1 tiny) and simplify.
Please help..

R = 1/[(1/R1) + (1/R2)]
----
R = 1/[(R2+R1)/(R1*R2)]
-----
R = R1*R2/(R1 + R2)
