Two heavily industrial areas are located 10 miles apart, as shown in the figure. if the concentration of particulate matter (in parts per million) decreases as the reciprocal of the square of the distance from the source, and if area A1 emits eight times the particulate matter as A2, then the concentration of particulate matter at any point between the two areas is given by

How far from A1 will the concentration of particulate matter between the two areas be at a minimum?
