Once the numbers have the same base and exponents, we can add or subtract their coefficients.Here are the steps to adding or subtracting numbers in scientific notation:Determine the number by which to increase the smaller exponent by so it is to the equal larger exponent
3\4a=24 multiply both sides by 4 to get rid of 4(4 x 24=96)
3a=96 divide both sides by 3 to remain with a
a=32
Answer:
I(7) = 22.96 W/m²
Step-by-step explanation:
Let intensity of light, be I(d) where d is distance. There must be a proportionality factor K such as
I(d) = K /d²
Now for d = 5 m I(d) = K* 1/d²
then 45 * 25 = K
K = 1125
To find the intensity when the distance from the light bulb is 7 m away
I(7) = K / 49
I(7) = 1125/49 W/m²
I(7) = 22.96 W/m²
