Question 12 of 16
The equation for calculating total resistance in a parallel circuit (for any number of parallel resistances) is sometimes written like this:
Rtotal = (R1−1 + R2−1 + …Rn−1)−1 Re-write this equation in such a way that it no longer contains any exponents.
Reveal answerRtotal = 1 1 R1+ 1 R2+ … 1 RnNotes:This question is an exercise in basic algebra, specifically the meaning of negative exponents.

Question 3, answer - the ‘+’ symbol is missing from ‘= a^(m+n)’.
Question 7, question and answer - second equation should have a multiplication symbol, not the ‘variable x’.
Question 8, question and answer - second equation should have a multiplication symbol, not the ‘variable x’.
Question 9, question - the ‘+’ symbol is missing between ‘4.5154 ‘+’ 14’.
Question 9, answer:
- the ‘+’ symbol is missing: 10 − 25 ×2 ‘+’ 5 = −35
- the ‘+’ symbol is missing: −8 ‘+’ 10^3 ×51 = 50992
- the ‘+’ symbol is missing: 12^4 ×(3 ‘+’ 11) = 290304
Question 9, question and answer: The square root should enclose the whole equation, and the equation should have a multiplication symbol, not the ‘variable x’.
Question 13, question and answer: The table columns need spacing and the ‘+’ symbol is missing from the headings ‘2x + 1’.
