Two resistors wired in parallel in an electrical circuit give an effective resistance of xy R(x, y) = x + y' where x and y are the positive resistances of the individual resistors (typically measured in ohms). a. Estimate the maximum value of R, for 0 < x< 10 and 0 <y< 10. b. Explain what it means to say that the resistance function is symmetric in x and y.
