Answer:

15

Step-by-step explanation:

If Maggies age is, for example, x, we can say that her brothers age is 4x-6. We know from the problem that Maggies age (x) plus her bothers age, (4x-6) is 69. So,

4x-6+x=69

5x-6=69

5x=75

x=15

So, Maggie is 15.

Answer: Maggie is 15 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

69 = (4m - 6) + m     --- get an equation

69 - m = 4m - 6        --- lets subtract  m from both sides first

75 - m = 4m              --- add 6 on both sides

75 = 5m                    --- add m on both sides

15 = m                       --- divide by 5 on both sides

m = 15, so Maggie is 15 years old

Let's check:

69 = (4(15)-6) +15

69 = (60 - 6) + 15

69 = 54 + 15

69 = 69

Using your knowledge of exponential and logarithmic functions and properties, what is the intensity of a fire alarm that has a s
Ierofanga [76]

Option B:

I=1.0\times\ 10^{0} \ \text {watts}/ \text m^2}

Solution:

Given sound level = 120 decibel

To find the intensity of a fire alarm:

$\beta=10\log\left(\frac{I}{I_0} \right)

where I_0=1\times10^{-12}\ \text {watts}/ \text m^2}

Step 1: First divide the decibel level by 10.

120 ÷ 10 = 12

Step 2: Use that value in the exponent of the ratio with base 10.

10^{12}

Step 3: Use that power of twelve to find the intensity in Watts per square meter.

$10^{12}=\left(\frac{I}{I_0} \right)

$10^{12}=\left(\frac{I}{1\times10^{-12}\ \text {watts}/ \text m^2} \right)

Now, do the cross multiplication,

I=10^{12}\times1\times\ 10^{-12} \ \text {watts}/ \text m^2}

I=1\times\ 10^{12-12} \ \text {watts}/ \text m^2}

I=1\times\ 10^{0} \ \text {watts}/ \text m^2}

I=1.0\times\ 10^{0} \ \text {watts}/ \text m^2}

Option B is the correct answer.

Hence I=1.0\times\ 10^{0} \ \text {watts}/ \text m^2}.
