Answer:
The sound intensity of a whisper is 333.3 times the reference intensity
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : The function gives the intensity of a sound in decibels, where x is the ratio of the intensity of the sound to a reference intensity.
A whisper has a sound intensity of 30 decibels.
To find : Use your graph to help you complete the following statement. The sound intensity of a whisper is times the reference intensity.
Solution :
Graph is attached which shows their intersection at (1000,30).
We can also verify by substituting value.
We have given that a whisper has a sound intensity of 30 decibels.
Therefore, y=30 , Let log base 10
Logarithmic property
The ratio of the intensity of the sound to a reference intensity is 1000 decibels
The sound intensity of a whisper is times the reference intensity is
The sound intensity of a whisper is 333.3 times the reference intensity.
