Question

An audiologist is testing a patient to determine the softest sound of a specific frequency that the patient reports hearing. She begins with a 10 decibel (dB) sound for trial 1, then increases the volume by 2 dB for each trial after that. If the patient can hear all sounds of that frequency that have a volume louder than 26 dB, and t represents the trial numbers that the patient can hear, which of the following inequalities best models the situation described above?

Answer 1

Answer:

26 <t+2

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume has to be louder than 26 so the inequaltiy sign should be an x is greater than sign and the intervals increase by 2 so you can add 2 to each x.

Hope this helps!
