Question 1 of 10 • VA-Mathematical Analysis
The total sound power, in decibels, from x objects each producing 50 decibels of sound power is given by the function f(x) = 50 + 10 log x. Suppose each of the x objects increases its sound power by 10 decibels, so that the new total sound power, in decibels, is given by the function g(x) = f(x) + 10.
Answer
A
On a coordinate plane y = g (x) starts at (0, 60) and curves up through (10, 70). Y = f (x) starts at (0, 50) and curves up through (10, 60).
B
On a coordinate plane y = f (x) starts at (0, 50) and curves up through (10, 60). y = g (x) starts at (0, 40) and curves up through (10, 50).
C
On a coordinate plane, y = f (x) starts at (0, 50) and curves up through (10, 60). Y = g (x) starts at (10, 50) and curves up through (20, 60).
D
On a coordinate plane, y = g (x) starts at (negative 10, 50) and curves up through (0, 60). Y = f (x) starts at (0, 50) and curves up through (10, 60).
