Answer 1

Answer:

D. 750(0.75)ˣ

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the new brightness be L'. Since our initial brightness L₀ reduces by 25 %, we have that L' = L₀ - 25% of L₀

L' = L₀ - 0.25L₀

L' = 0.75L₀

Adding the second screen, the new intensity is L" = L' - 25 % of L'  

L" = L' - 0.25 L'

L" = 0.75L'.

Since L' = 0.75L₀,

L" = 0.75L' = 0.75(0.75L₀) = 0.75²L₀

Adding the third screen, the new intensity is L"' = L'' - 25 % of L''  

L'" = L" - 0.25 L"

L"' = 0.75L".

Since L" = 0.75L' = 0.75²L₀

L"' = 0.75L" = 0.75(0.75²L₀) = 0.75³L₀

So, we see a pattern here.

The intensity after x screens is L = (0.75)ˣL₀

Since L₀ = 750 lumens,

L = 750(0.75)ˣ
