a) R₁ = 14.1 Ω, b) R₂ = 19.9 Ω

Explanation:

For this exercise we must use ohm's law remembering that in a series circuit the equivalent resistance is the sum of the resistances

all resistors connected

V = i (R₁ + R₂)

with R₁ connected

V = (i + 0.5) R₁

with R₂ connected

V = (i + 0.25) R₂

We have a system of three equations with three unknowns for which we can solve it

We substitute the last two equations in the first

V = i ( $\frac{V}{ i+0.5} + \frac{V}{i+0.25}$ )

1 = i ( $\frac{1}{i+0.5} + \frac{1}{i+0.25}$ )

1 = i ( $\frac{i+0.5+i+0.25}{(i+0.5) \ ( i+0.25) }$ ) = $\frac{i^2 + 0.75i}{i^2 + 0.75 i + 0.125}$

i² + 0.75 i + 0.125 = 2i² + 0.75 i

i² - 0.125 = 0

i = √0.125

i = 0.35355 A

with the second equation we look for R1

R₁ = $\frac{V}{i+0.5}$

R₁ = 12 /( 0.35355 +0.5)

R₁ = 14.1 Ω

with the third equation we look for R2

R₂ = $\frac{V}{i+0.25}$

R₂ = $\frac{12}{0.35355+0.25}$

R₂ = 19.9 Ω

Answer from: Quest

Acetic acid /əˈsiːtɪk/, systematically named ethanoic acid /ˌɛθəˈnoʊɪk/, is a colourless liquid organic compound with the chemical formula ch3cooh (also written as ch3co2h or c2h4o2). when undiluted, it is sometimes called glacial acetic acid. vinegar is no less than 4% acetic acid by volume, making acetic acid the main component of vinegar apart from water. acetic acid has a distinctive sour taste and pungent smell. in addition to household vinegar, it is mainly produced as a precursor to polyvinyl acetate and cellulose acetate. it is classified as a weak acid since it only partially dissociates in solution, but concentrated acetic acid is corrosive and can attack the skin.acetic acidnamespreferred iupac nameacetic acidsystematic iupac nameethanoic acidother namesvinegar (when dilute); hydrogen acetate; methanecarboxylic acid[1][2]identifierscas number64-19-7 3d model (jsmol)interactive image3dmetb00009 reference506007chebichebi: 15366 chemblchembl539 chemspider171 drugbankdb03166 echa infocard100.000.528ec number200-580-7e numbere260 (preservatives)gmelin reference1380iuphar/bps1058keggd00010 meshacetic+acidpubchem cid176rtecs numberaf1225000uniiq40q9n063p un number2789inchiinchi=1s/c2h4o2/c1-2(3)4/h1h3,(h,3,4) key: qtbsbxvteameqo-uhfffaoysa-n smilescc(o)=o
