Two resistors

Two resistors when they give 25 ohms in series and 4 ohms in parallel, what are the values of

Correct answer:

R1 =  20 Ω
R2 =  5 Ω

Step-by-step explanation:

a+b = 25 ab/(a+b) = 4 a(25a)/25=4  0.04a2+a4=0 0.04a2a+4=0  p=0.04;q=1;r=4 D=q24pr=1240.044=0.36 D>0  a1,2=2pq±D=0.081±0.36 a1,2=12.5±7.5 a1=20 a2=5  R1=a1=20=20 Ω

Our quadratic equation calculator calculates it.

R2=a2=5=5 Ω
