    Derivatives to Calculate the Rate of Change

    The voltage, V, (in volts) across a circuit is given by Ohm's law: V = IR, where I is the current (in amps) flowing through the circuit and R is the resistance (in ohms). If we place two circuits, with resistance R1 and R2, in parallel, then their combined resistance, R, is given by 1/R = 1/R_1 + 1/R_2 Suppose the current is
