Chapter 1, Problem 1.56P
Each of the following equations can be represented as a straight line on an x-y plot by choosing the appropriate axis scales. Plot each, and explain how the plot operation yields the straight line. Variable y has units of volts. Variable x has units of meters (use a range of 0.01 <x < 10.0).
- y = 5x"°-25
- y = (0.4X10"2*)

- Solve for the indicated value, and graph the situation showing the solution point. The formula for measuring sound intensity in decibels D is defined by the equation D = 10 log (1) using the common (base 10) logarithm where I is the intensity of the sound in watts per square meter and Io = 10-12 is the lowest level of sound that the average person can hear. How many decibels are emitted from a jet plane with a sound intensity of 8.7. 102 watts per square meter? Round your answer to three decimal places.
