Aresistor with an unknown resistance is connected in parallel to a 9 ω resistor. when both resistors are connected in parallel to an emf source of 21 v, the current through the unknown resistor is measured with an ammeter to be 4 a. what is the resistance of the unknown resistor? answer in units of ω.

The chart shows the costs and shipping times for materials that a company needs to build a new product. which describes the best trade-off if the company needs to start building their product within the next two years? they should order the domestic materials because it is always best to choose the fastest shipping time. they should order the imported materials because it is always best to choose the lowest cost for materials. since the shipping time is longer, they should order the domestic materials because the additional cost is worth it to get the materials in time. even though the shipping time is longer, they should order the imported materials because they are less expensive and should arrive in plenty of time to build the product.
