Question

The intensity of sound high as a multiple of the average minimum threshold of hearing intensity is related to the decibel level D or loudness of sound according to

I=10^D/10

(A) express 10^D/10 using radical notation 

10^D/10=

(B)The background noise level of a relatively quiet room has a decibel reading of 31. Find the intensity of this noise level round your answer to decimal places

(C)a decibel reading of 132 is at the threshold of pain. if I2 is the intensity of the threshold and I1 is the intensity found and part B express or a show I2/I1 as a power of 10

I2/I1=10^

approximate the ratio(round your answer to two decimal places)

_____x10^10
