The intensity of a light source at a distance is directly proportional to the strength of the source and inversely proportional

to the square of the distance from the source. Two light​ sources, one five times as strong as the​ other, are 16 m apart. At what point on the line segment joining the sources is the intensity the​ weakest?

Answer:

x=\frac{16}{\sqrt[3]{2}+1 }

Step-by-step explanation:

Q= illumination

I = intensity

Q= I/d^2

Q_total = \frac{I_1}{d_1^2}+\frac{I_2}{d_2^2}

= \frac{I}{x^2}+\frac{2I}{(16-x)^2}

now Q' = 0

⇒I{-\frac{2}{x^3}}+\frac{4}{(16-x)^3}

x=\frac{16}{\sqrt[3]{2}+1 }

[/tex]\frac{1}{x^3} = \frac{2}{(16-x)^3}

x=\frac{16}{\sqrt[3]{2}+1 }

is the required point

Bottles of sparkling water usually cost $1.69 each. This week they are in sale for 4 for $5. You bought one last week and one th
Phantasy [73]

Answer:

The cost of 1 sparkling bottle in this week is less than last week, so we pay less this week.

We pay $0.44 less this week.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Cost of 1 sparkling bottle last week = $1.69

This week cost of 4 bottles is $5.

So we have to find the cost of 1 bottle.

For this we use the unitary method, we get the cost of 1 bottle;

Cost of 1 sparkling bottle this week = \frac{5}{4}=\$1.25

The cost of 1 sparkling bottle in this week is less than last week, so we pay less this week.

For finding how much we pay less this week, we have to subtract cost of 1 sparkling bottle this week from cost of 1 sparkling bottle last week.

Framing the above sentence in equation form, we get;

Amount\ of\ money\ we\ pay\ less=1.69-1.25=\$0.44

Hence we pay $0.44 less this week.
