If you have two resistors with different resistances, there are two possible ways of connecting them: in series, and in parallel. If you have three resistors with different resistances (say Ra, Rb, and Rc), how many ways can all three be hooked up to give a different total resistance? Derive a formula for the total resistance in each case.
