Question: When an xx - ohm and a yy - ohm resistor are in parallel, the resistence RR they produce will be calculated from the formula

When an xx-ohm and a yy-ohm resistor are in parallel, the resistence RR they produce will be calculated from the formula
1R=1x+1y.1R=1x+1y.
The values of xx andyy are respectively 10 and 20. Use
dR=Rxdx+RydydR=Rxdx+Rydy
to estimate what percentage willRR change if xx is increased by 10% and yy is decreased by 1%?
Enter the numerical part of your answer to 2 decimal places in the box below.
For example, ifRR is increaded by 3.17873%, enter 3.18;
if RR is decreased by 2.1235%, enter -2.12.
Note: If you calculate the percentage change by
[(new value of RRold value of RR)/(old value of R)]100%R)]100%
your answer may be regarded as a wrong answer.
