QuestionFind the frequency of note F# which is 3 half steps below A3 (220 Hz) using F(x)=F0(1.059463)xF(x)=F_{0}(1.059463)^{x}. Round to the nearest whole number.

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The reference frequency 0_{0} is the frequency of the note A3A_{3}, which is 220 Hz220 \mathrm{~Hz}. . The note F\# is3 half steps below A3A_{3}, so x=3x=-3.
3. The frequency of a note is modeled by the function (x)=0(1.059463)x(x)=_{0}(1.059463)^{x}.

STEP 2

We need to find the frequency of the note F\#, which is half steps below AA_{}. We can do this by substituting the values of 0_{0} and xx into the function.
(x)=0(1.059463)x(x)=_{0}(1.059463)^{x}

STEP 3

Substitute the values of 0_{0} and xx into the function.
(3)=220(1.059463)3(-3)=220(1.059463)^{-3}

STEP 4

Calculate the value of (1.059463)3(1.059463)^{-3}.
1.05946330.8413951.059463^{-3} \approx0.841395

STEP 5

Substitute the value of (1.059463)3(1.059463)^{-3} back into the function.
(3)=220×0.841395(-3)=220 \times0.841395

STEP 6

Calculate the frequency of the note F\#.
(3)=220×0.841395185(-3)=220 \times0.841395 \approx185The frequency of the note F\# is approximately185 Hz, rounded to the nearest whole number.
