Answer:

Resistance = 360,000 Ω = 360 kΩ

Tolerance = +/- 5%

Step-by-step explanation:

You can follow a four-band resistor chart to determine resistance and tolerance based off each column.

1st Band = Orange = 3

2nd Band = Blue = 6

3rd Band = Yellow = 10,000 Ω (this is the multiplier)

Resistance = 36 * 10,000 Ω = 360,000 Ω = 360 kΩ

4th Band = Gold = +/- 5% Tolerance
