Question

Thor and Zeus strike with their hammers. The higher they raise their hammers before they strike, the louder the sound of the strike.

The following equation gives the loudness of Thor's strike (in decibels) as a function of the height from which he strikes (in centimeters).
S=3h+25
The graph of the loudness of Zeus's strike (in decibels) as a function of the height from which he strikes (in centimeters) is shown below.
(10,30) (15,60)
Whose loudness increases more per additional centimeter of height?
Whose strike is louder when he strikes from a height of 40 centimeters?
PLZ HELP!!! 30 POINTS!!!

Answer 1

The increase in loudness per centimeter is the same for both.

Thor's strike is louder when he strikes from a height of 40 centimeters.

Explanation:

The slope for Zeus is 3. The slope in the graph is 3 (just find two point and see that goes 30 up and 10 right. So 30/10 ---> 3.

For Zeus strikes change the h to 40.

and is S= 3*40 + 25

For Thor's look the Graph. in the x 40.
