Algebra.Com's Answer #42818 by Nate(3500)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! P = 10*log(Pout / Pin) \n" ); document.write( "10 = 10*log(7/Pin) \n" ); document.write( "1 = log(7/Pin) \n" ); document.write( "10 = 7/Pin \n" ); document.write( "10*Pin = 7 \n" ); document.write( "Pin = 7/10 = 0.7 \n" ); document.write( " |
