The amount of light I (in milliwatts per square centimeter) of a 50-watt light bulb at a distwnce of d centimeters is described by thrme equation I = 8910d^-2 a. simplify the right side of the equation b. Substitute 80 for d in the equation you found in a.) and solve for I. What does your result mean in this situation?

Respuesta :

Answer:[tex]\begin{gathered} a)\text{ I = }\frac{8910}{d^2} \\ b)\text{ I = }1.39mW/m^2 \end{gathered}[/tex]Explanations:

The amount of light of the bulb is represented by I

[tex]I=8910d^{-2}[/tex]

a) Simplify the right side of the expression

[tex]I\text{ = }\frac{8910}{d^2}[/tex]

b) Substitute 80 for d in the equation.

d = 80

[tex]\begin{gathered} I\text{ = }\frac{8910}{80^2} \\ I\text{ = }\frac{8910}{6400} \\ I\text{ = }1.39 \end{gathered}[/tex]

The amount of light I of the 50-watt light bulb is 1.39 milliwatts per square centimeter
