solve the given problems. Two resistors $R_{1}$ and $R_{2},$ placed in parallel, have a combined resistance $R_{T}$ given by $\frac{1}{R_{T}}=\frac{1}{R_{1}}+\frac{1}{R_{2}} .$ Find $\frac{\partial R_{T}}{\partial R_{1}}$

Partial Derivatives
Solve each problem. If two receivers with resistances $R_{1}$ and $R_{2}$ are connected in parallel, then the formula relates the total resistance for the circuit $R$ with $R_{1}$ and $R_{2}$. Given that $R_{1}$ is 3 ohms and $R$ is 2 ohms, find $R_{2}$ $$\frac{1}{R}=\frac{1}{R_{1}}+\frac{1}{R_{2}}$$
Rational Expressions and Functions
Applications
Resistors When two resistors of resistances $R_{1}$ and $R_{2}$ are connected in parallel (see figure), the total resistance $R$ satisfies the equation $$\frac{1}{R}=\frac{1}{R_{1}}+\frac{1}{R_{2}}$$ Find $R_{1}$ for a parallel circuit in which $R_{2}=2$ ohms and $R$ must be at least 1 ohm.
