Answer:

Using logarithmic rule:

\log \frac{m}{n} = \log m -\log n

\log_b b^a = a

\log_b x = a then x = b^a

Given that,

Sound intensity of a typical vacuum cleaner = 80 dB

Sound intensity of burst of eardrum = 160 dB

Let, I₁ and I₂ b e the intensity of typical vacuum and intensity of eardrum.

Use the formula:

1 dB = 10\log_{10} (\frac{I}{I_0})

As per the statement

The sound intensity of a typical vacuum cleaner is 80 dB (decibels).

⇒ 80 dB= 10\log_{10} (\frac{I_1}{10^{-12}})

Divide both sides by 10 we have;

8 dB= \log_{10} (\frac{I_1}{10^{-12}})

Apply the logarithmic rules:

then;

8 = \log_{10} I_1 - \log_{10} 10^{-12}

⇒8 = \log_{10} I_1 + 12

Subtract 12 from both sides we have;

-4= \log_{10} I_1

⇒10^{-4} = I_1                                    ......[A}

It is also given that: Sound intensity of 160 dB will burst an eardrum.

⇒ 160 dB= 10\log_{10} (\frac{I_2}{10^{-12}})  

Divide both sides by 10 we have;

16 dB= \log_{10} (\frac{I_2}{10^{-12}})

Apply the logarithmic rules:

16 = \log_{10} I_2 - \log_{10} 10^{-12}

⇒16 = \log_{10} I_2 + 12

Subtract 12 from both sides we have;

⇒4 = \log_{10} I_2

⇒10^{4} = I_2                                              ......[B]

We have to find how many times louder is the sound that will burst an eardrum than the sound of a vacuum cleaner.

\dfrac{I_2}{I_1} = \dfrac{10^4}{10^{-4}} = 10^8

⇒I_2 = 10^8 \times I_1

Therefore, 10^8 times louder is the sound that will burst an eardrum than the sound of a vacuum cleaner

In Exercises 45–48, let f(x) = (x - 2)2 + 1. Match the<br> function with its graph
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

45) The function corresponds to graph A

46) The function corresponds to graph C

47) The function corresponds to graph B

48) The function corresponds to graph D

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the function f(x) is:

f(x)=(x-2)^{2}+1

45)

The function g(x) is given by:

g(x)=f(x-1)

using f(x) we can find f(x-1)

g(x)=((x-1)-2)^{2}+1=(x-3)^{2}+1

If we take the derivative and equal to zero we will find the minimum value of the parabolla (x,y) and then find the correct graph.

g(x)'=2(x-3)

2(x-3)=0

x=3

Puting it on g(x) we will get y value.

y=g(3)=(3-3)^{2}+1

y=g(3)=1

<u>Then, the minimum point of this function is (3,1) and it corresponds to (A)</u>

46)

Let's use the same method here.

g(x)=f(x+2)

g(x)=((x+2)-2)^{2}+1

g(x)=(x)^{2}+1

Let's find the first derivative and equal to zero to find x and y minimum value.

g'(x)=2x

0=2x

x=0

Evaluatinf g(x) at this value of x we have:

g(0)=(x)^{2}+1

g(0)=1

<u>Then, the minimum point of this function is (0,1) and it corresponds to (C)</u>

47)

Let's use the same method here.

g(x)=f(x)+2

g(x)=(x-2)^{2}+1+2

g(x)=(x-2)^{2}+3

Let's find the first derivative and equal to zero to find x and y minimum value.

g'(x)=2(x-2)

0=2(x-2)

x=2

Evaluatinf g(x) at this value of x we have:

g(2)=(2-2)^{2}+3

g(2)=3

<u>Then, the minimum point of this function is (2,3) and it corresponds to (B)</u>

48)

Let's use the same method here.

g(x)=f(x)-3

g(x)=(x-2)^{2}+1-3

g(x)=(x-2)^{2}-2

Let's find the first derivative and equal to zero to find x and y minimum value.

g'(x)=2(x-2)

0=2(x-2)

x=2

Evaluatinf g(x) at this value of x we have:

g(2)=(2-2)^{2}-2

g(2)=-2

<u>Then, the minimum point of this function is (2,-2) and it corresponds to (D)</u>
