The 108 decibel sound is 6.31 times more intense than a 100 decibel sound option (B) is correct.

<h3>What is a logarithm? </h3>

It is another way to represent the power of numbers, and we say that 'b' is the logarithm of 'c' with base 'a' if and only if 'a' to the power 'b' equals 'c'.

\rm a^b = c\\log_ac =b

We have:

The loudness L of sound in decibels is given by

\rm L=10log(\dfrac{I}{I_0})

Here I is the intensity of the sound.

\rm I_0=10^{-12} \ W/m^2

Loudness for 108 decibel sound:

\rm 108=10log(\dfrac{I}{10^-^1^2})

I = 0.06309

Similarly, for:

100 decibel sound:

i = 0.01

I/i = 0.06309/0.01 = 6.31

I = 6.31i

Thus, the 108 decibel sound is 6.31 times more intense than a 100 decibel sound option (B) is correct.

Need help finding the parallel and perpendicular slope
Rudik [331]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(x₁, y₁) = (19 , -4)   & (x₂ ,y₂) = (17, -20)

Slope =\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}

        = \frac{-20-[-4]}{17-19}\\\\= \frac{-20+4}{17-19}\\\\= \frac{-16}{-2}\\\\= 8

m = 8

Parallel lines have same slope.

Parallel slope = 8

Slope of perpendicular line = \frac{-1}{m}

Perpendicular slope = \frac{-1}{8}

HELP Asap :-/!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHH
pychu [463]

Answer:

x = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

If ΔMNO ≅ ΔPST, their corresponding sides must also be ≅(congruent).

NO is corresponds to TS, thus sides NO and side TS are ≅.

=> 20 = 3x - 7

=> 3x = 27

=> x = 9

Solve negative one fifth times the quantity 3 minus 12 times the quantity one third squared end quantity end quantity.
katrin [286]

The solution to the given equation is -87/45

<h3>Product of expressions</h3>

Given the following expression that represents the word problem as;

-1/5 * 3 - 12(1/3)^2

Using the PEMDAS rule, the parenthesis and exponent will come first to have;

-1/5 * 3 - 12(1/3)^2 = -1/5 * 3 - 12(1/9)

Then multiplication

-1/5 * 3 - 12(1/9) =. -3/5 - 12/9

Find the difference

-1/5 * 3 - 12(1/9) = -27-60/45

-1/5 * 3 - 12(1/9) = -87/45

Hence the solution to the given equation is -87/45
