    pre calculus intensity and inverses
    The noise level, N, of a sound in decibels is given by
    N=f(I)= 10log(I/I0) <---the 0 in the (I/I0) is a sub 0

    where I is the intensity of the sound and I0 (sub 0) is a constant.
    Find and interpret f-1(N) the inverse

    I don't know how to even go about doing this??

    You have an equation like this:



    so they want you to work this so that you get I all by itself. The only trick here is to use the fact that if

    So would the I/I0 become just and I?

    I don't follow you. In the equation I gave you c = (I/Io)
