On a workday, the average decibel level of a busy street is 70 db, with 100 cars passing a given point every minute. if the number of cars is reduced to 25 every minute on a weekend, what is the decibel level of the street?

The average decibel level of the street on a weekend if number of cars is reduced to 25 every minute is 17.5 db

Workday:

Number of cars = 100

Decibel level = 70 db

Weekend:

Number of cars = 25

Decibel level = x

Ratio of number of cars to decibel level

100 : 70 = 25 : x

100/70 = 25/x

cross product

100 × x = 70 × 25

100x = 1750

x = 1750/100

x = 17.5 db

Therefore, the average decibel level of the street on a weekend is 17.5 db

(f - g)(x) = 5x^3 - 3

step-by-step explanation:

rearrange these functions vertically, with like terms in separate columns:

f(x) = 5x^3 - 2

g(x) =         +1

now subtract, column by column:

(f - g)(x) = 5x^3 - 3
