23. SOUND An equation for loudness, in decibels, is L = 10 log 10 R, where R is the relative intensity of the sound.
Sounds that reach levels of 120 decibels or more are painful to humans. What is the relative intensity of 120 decibels?
10^12.

24. INVESTING Maria invests $1000 in a savings account that pays 4% interest compounded annually. The value of the
account A at the end of five years can be determined from the equation log 10 A = log 10 [1000(1+0.04)5]. Write this
equation in exponential form.
A= 1000( 1+ 0.04)^5.
