Algebra.Com's Answer #241477 by Alan3354(69443)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Do it like this one: \n" ); document.write( "--------- \n" ); document.write( "The intensity I of light from a light bulb varies inversely as the square of the distance d from the light bulb. Suppose I is 640 w/m^2 when the distance is 8m. How much farther would it be to a point where the intensity is 90 w/m^2? \n" ); document.write( "------------------- \n" ); document.write( " k is a constant, d = distance \n" ); document.write( "640 = k/8^2 = k/64 \n" ); document.write( "k = 40960 \n" ); document.write( "------------ \n" ); document.write( "For 90 w/m^2: \n" ); document.write( "90 = 40960/d^2 \n" ); document.write( "d^2 = 40960/90 \n" ); document.write( "d = 64/3 meters \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
