Algebra.Com's Answer #719937 by Alan3354(69443)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! The intensity of a radio signal from the radio station varies inversely as the square of the distance from the station. Suppose intensity is 8000 units at a distance of 2 miles. What will the intensity be at a distance of 12 miles? Round your answer to the nearest unit. \n" ); document.write( "-------------- \n" ); document.write( "6 times the distance --> (1/6)^2 times the intensity. \n" ); document.write( "8000/36 = 222 units \n" ); document.write( " |
