Question

The illumination provided by a car’s headlight varies inversely as the square of the distance from the headlight. If a headlight produces 15 footcandles at a distance of 20 feet, what will be the illumination at 40 feet? At 100 feet?
You are told that

I(d) = k/d^2

15 = k/400
k = 6000

I(40) = 6000/1600
I(100) = 6000/10000
THANK YOU!!
