We are given a function f ( x ) defined as follows:

We are to determine the value of f ( x ) when,

In such cases, we plug in/substitue the given value of x into the expressed function f ( x ) as follows:

We will apply the power on both numerator and denominator as follows:

Now we evaluate ( 2 ) raised to the power of ( 1 / 9 ).

Next apply the division operation as follows:

Once, we have evaluated the answer in decimal form ( 5 decimal places ). We will round off the answer to nearest thousandths.
Rounding off to nearest thousandth means we consider the thousandth decimal place ( 3rd ). Then we have the choice of either truncating the decimal places ( 4th and onwards ). The truncation only occurs when (4th decimal place) is < 5.
However, since the (4th decimal place) = 8 > 5. Then we add ( 1 ) to the 3rd decimal place and truncate the rest of the decimal places i.e ( 4th and onwards ).
The answer to f ( 1 / 2 ) to the nearest thousandth would be:

The answer would be 901 because they said what is the least number they would need to read and their goal is MORE than 900. The amount of books that they already had is useless information (Ignore). They love giving trick questions. :)
Answer:
150.51 dB
Step-by-step explanation:
Data provided in the question:
decibel level of sound at 161 km distance = 180 dB
d₁ = 161 km
d₂ = 4800 km
I₁ = 180 db
The formula for intensity of sound is given as:
I = 
and the relation between intensity and distance is given as:
I ∝ 
or
Id² = constant
thus,
I₁d₁² = I₂d₂²
or

therefore,
I = 
or
I = 
or
I = 20 × (-1.474)
or
I = -29.49
Therefore,
the decibel level on Rodriguez Island, 4,800 km away
= 180 - 29.49
= 150.51 dB
Answer:
400
Step-by-step explanation:
5(1+3)^2
(5+15)^2
20^2
400
450 >_ 750 - 70x
450 >_ 750 - 70x
(subtract 750 on both sides)
-300 >_ -70x
(divide by -70 to get x alone, then flip the inequality sign)
4 2/7 <_ x
(round up to 5, you can’t have 2/7 of a person)
at least 5 people have to get off
hope this helped!
