What is the range of that satisfies the above logarithmic inequality?
The sound intensity level (measured in decibels) is given by the formula: where denotes sound intensity and is the reference sound intensity.
An individual is diagnosed as moderate hearing loss when his/her threshold of sound perception is greater than 40 dB and less than or equal to 55 dB. Given that what is the range of the threshold of sound intensity that a person with moderate hearing loss can perceive?
Details and Assumptions:
- The sound intensity level of a normal conversation is about 50~60 dB, and that of a quiet library is about 40 dB.
- Assume that
and are positive integers satisfying . What is the minimum integer value of
