Answer:   3.   The correct option is:  A) 3.57 decibels.

6.   The correct option is:  B) [tex]ln(\frac{x^2}{c^5})[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

3.    Sound intensity is cut to 44% of its original level. That means, if the original sound intensity was 100, then now sound intensity will be 44.

So,  [tex]I_{0}= 100[/tex] and [tex]I= 44[/tex]

Using the formula [tex]L= 10log(\frac{I}{I_{0}})[/tex], we will get.....

[tex]L= 10log(\frac{44}{100})\\ \\ L= 10log(0.44)\\ \\ L= 10(-0.3565...)=-3.565...\approx -3.57[/tex]

(Rounded to the nearest hundredth)

So, the loudness would be reduced by 3.57 decibels.


6.    Given expression is:    [tex]2ln(x) - 5ln(c)[/tex]

First applying the property [tex]m*log(x)= log(x^m)[/tex] , we will get.....

[tex]ln(x^2)-ln(c^5)[/tex]

Now using the formula, [tex]log(a)-log(b)= log(\frac{a}{b})[/tex], we will get....

[tex]ln(x^2)-ln(c^5) = ln(\frac{x^2}{c^5})[/tex]

Thus, the answer as a single natural logarithm is   [tex]ln(\frac{x^2}{c^5})[/tex]

The expression of both questions from natural logarithm are; A) 3.57 Decibels and B) In (x²/c⁵)

How to express a natural logarithm?

5) We are told that;

Sound intensity is cut to 44% of its original level.

Thus, ratio of new sound intensity to original sound intensity is 44/100.

We are given the formula;

L = 10 log (I/I₀)

Thus;

L = 10 Log (44/100)

L = 3.57

6) We are given the expression;

2 Inx - 5 In c

From property of exponents, we can express as;

In (x²) - In (c⁵)

ALso from division property of exponents, theis gives us;

In (x²/c⁵)
