You are the coordinator for a program that is going to take place at night in a rectangular amphitheater in the mountains. you will have no access to any electricity, but you must be able to illuminate the entire grounds. you know the intensity of the light from a lantern varies inversely as the square of the distance from the lantern. suppose the intensity is 90 when the distance is 5 m. a. write an equation to model the situation. b. solve for the constant of variation. c. write the equation to model the situation using the constant () of variation. d. you have been given lanterns with 40 light intensity. use your equation to solve for the distance from the lantern. e. you need to illuminate 225 km. how many meters do you need to light? f. how many lanterns will you need?

In 1859, charles darwin published the first edition of on the origin of species, which explained his observations of various groups of animals that showed great similarities but minor differences. darwin concluded that if a population of one species separates into two different populations that live in separate locations, then over the course of many generations the different populations can develop into different species. this idea predicted many future biological findings and became the basis of modern biology. darwin’s explanation for why different species exist is best described as a(n) law. theory. inquiry. hypothesis.
