The amount of illumination of a surface is proportional to the intensity of the light source, inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the light source, and proportional to where is the angle at which the light strikes the surface. A rectangular room measures 10 feet by 24 feet, with a 10-foot ceiling. Determine the height at which the light should be placed to allow the corners of the floor to receive as much light as possible.

The police department must determine the speed limit on a bridge such that the flow rate of cars is maximum per unit time. The greater the speed limit, the farther apart the cars must be in order to keep a safe stopping distance. Experimental data on the stopping distance (in meters) for various speeds (in kilometers per hour) are shown in the table.(a) Convert the speeds in the table to the speeds in meters per second. Use the regression capabilities of a graphing utility to find a model of the form for the data. (b) Consider two consecutive vehicles of average length 5.5 meters, traveling at a safe speed on the bridge. Let be the difference between the times (in seconds) when the front bumpers of the vehicles pass a given point on the bridge.
