y = 25\cdot~3^x\\ \\ 1170 = 25\cdot~3^x\\ \\ \frac{1170}{25} = 3^x\\ \\ \frac{243}{5} = 3^x\\ \\ log\ \frac{243}{5} = log~3^x\\ \\ log~243-log~5=x~log~3\\ \\ 
 log~3^5-log~5=x~log~3\\ \\ 5~log~3-log~5 = x~log~3\\ \\ 5(0,48)-0,70= 0,48x\\ \\ 2,4-0,7 = 0,48x\\ \\ 1,7=0,48x\\ \\ x=\frac{1,7}{0,48}\\ \\ \large{\boxed{x=3,54\ h}}

The loudness, L, of a sound (measured in decibels, dB) is inversely proportional to the square of the distance, d
Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

L = 9.91 decibels.

Step-by-step explanation:

The loudness, L is inversely proportional to the square of the distance, d, from the source of the sound.

i.e L \alpha \frac{1}{d^{2} }

L = \frac{k}{d^{2} }

Where k is the constant of proportionality.

When d = 14 feet and L = 85 dB, then;

k = L x d^{2}

  = 85 x (14)^{2}

 = 16660

k = 16660

L = \frac{16660}{d^{2} }

Thus, when d = 41 feet, then;

L = \frac{16660}{(41)^{2} }

  = \frac{16660}{1681}

  = 9.91077

L = 9.91 dB

The loudness is 9.91 decibels.
