Solve each problem. Illumination The illumination produced by a light source varies inversely as the square of the distance from the source. The illumination of a light source at $5 \mathrm{m}$ is 70 candelas. What is the illumination 12 m from the source?
Polynomial and Rational Functions
Variation
The intensity of illumination is inversely proportional to the square of the distance of the light source. When the distance of a certain light source is 30 m, the intensity is 6 lux. a) Determine a function relating the intensity of illumination to distance. [2] b) Determine the intensity of illumination at 25 m. [2] c) Determine the average rate of change for the following intervals. i) 24 m to 25 m [2] ii) 24.5 m to 25 m [2] iii) 24.9 m to 25 m [2]
