Answer:

D = 50

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

I = 10^{-7}W/m^2 --- Intensity

Required

Determine the decibel level (D)

This is calculated as:

D = 10 * log(\frac{I}{I_n})

Where:

I_n = The threshold intensity

I_n =1 * 10^{-12}W/m^2

So, we have:

D = 10 * log(\frac{I}{I_n})

This gives:

D = 10 * log(\frac{10^{-7}W/m^2}{1 * 10^{-12}W/m^2})

D = 10 * log(\frac{10^{-7}}{10^{-12}})

Apply law of indices

D = 10 * log(10^{-7--12})

D = 10 * log(10^{5})

Apply law of logarithm

loga^b = b\ log(a)

So, we have:

D = 10 * 5 * log(10)

log(10)  =1

So:

D = 10 * 5 *1

D = 50

<em>Hence, the decibel level is 50</em>

I'm working on something like this too.
You want to get the measure of y.

4x - 2y = 10
-4x -4x
------------------
-2y = 4x + 10

y = -2/1x + -5
m = -2
b = -5

question 14(multiple choice worth 5 points) (01.07 lc) what is the product of 3.4 × 10−14 and 1.8 × 1028? 6.12 × 1014 9.4 × 1014
asambeis [7]

The product of (3.4 × 10⁻¹⁴) and (1.8 × 10²⁸) is 6.12 × 10¹⁴. Applying associative property and exponential rule, the required product is calculated.

<h3>What are the required properties?</h3>

The given products are decimals and exponentials. So, the required properties are the associative and exponential rules. They are as follows:

Associative property:

a×(b × c) = (a × b)×c

From this, we can also write,

(a × b) × (c × d) = (a × c) × (b × d)

Exponential rule:

The product of two exponentials is a^m\times a^n = a^{m+n}

<h3>Calculation:</h3>

The given values are

3.4 × 10⁻¹⁴ and 1.8 × 10²⁸

The product of these values is

(3.4 × 10⁻¹⁴) × (1.8 × 10²⁸)

Applying the associative property: (a × b) × (c × d) = (a × c) × (b × d);

⇒ (3.4 × 10⁻¹⁴) × (1.8 × 10²⁸) = (3.4 × 1.8) × (10⁻¹⁴ × 10²⁸)

Applying exponential rule: a^m\times a^n = a^{m+n}

⇒ 6.12 × 10⁻¹⁴⁺²⁸

⇒ 6.12 × 10¹⁴

Thus, the product of the given values is 6.12 × 10¹⁴. Option A is correct.
