Question
### Problem 4.4.107

The light intensity \( I \) (in lumens) at a depth of \( x \) feet in Lake Elizabeth is given by the formula:

\[ \log \left( \frac{I}{12} \right) = -0.025x \]

#### Questions:
a. Find the light intensity at a depth of 30 feet.

b. At what depth is the light intensity 6 lumens?

#### Solutions:
a. The light intensity at a depth of 30 feet is \( \underline{\hspace{2cm}} \) lumens.
   
   *(Do not round until the final answer. Then round to three decimal places as needed.)*

This educational website section describes the logarithmic relation between light intensity \( I \) at various depths \( x \) in Lake Elizabeth. The given formula shows how light diminishes exponentially with increasing depth. The problem includes two parts: calculating the light intensity at a specific depth and determining the depth at a given light intensity. Complete each part by applying logarithmic and algebraic operations, ensuring to round the final answer to three decimal places for accuracy.
