Answer:

D. (x - 2)(x - 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

x2 - 4x + 4 = x² - 2x - 2x +4

= x(x-2) - 2(x - 2)

= (x-2)(x-2)

HINT: - 2x +4 = -2 * x + (-2) * (-2) = -2 ( x -2)

The loudness, L, measured in decibels (Db), of a sound intensity, I, measured in watts per square meter, is defined as mc024-1.j

Alex Ar [27]

We have the given I = 10^-1 and I₀ = 10^-12.

Simply plugging in the values to the equation, we have:
L = 10log(10^-1/10^-12)
L = 110 Db

The answer is D.

(I used a scientific calculator in solving for L).
