P is inversely proportional to \"d%5E2\".
\n" ); document.write( "\"P+=+k%2Fd%5E2\" Given that \"P+=+10000\" when \"d+=+o.4\" make the substitutions:
\n" ); document.write( "\"10000+=+k%2F%280.4%29%5E2\" Solve for k:
\n" ); document.write( "\"k+=+10000%280.16%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"k+=+1600\" so...
\n" ); document.write( "\"P+=+1600%2Fd%5E2\" now substitute \"d+=+0.8\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"P+=+1600%2F%280.8%29%5E2\" Evaluate.
\n" ); document.write( "\"P+=+1600%2F0.64\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"P+=+2500\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
