\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.
\n" ); document.write( "\"I=k%2Fd%5E2\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"640=k%2F%284%29%5E2\"
\n" ); document.write( "Solve for \"k\".
\n" ); document.write( "Now you have \"k\", find \"d2\" when \"I=250\".
\n" ); document.write( "Then find the difference between \"d2\" and \"4\" m.
