Determine whether the following statement is true or false and explain your answer: arccos ( x ) = π arccos x .

True . The angle, θ 1 that equals arccos ( x ) , x > 0 , will be a second quadrant angle with reference angle, θ 2 , where θ 2 equals arccos x , x > 0 . Since θ 2 is the reference angle for θ 1 , θ 2 = π θ 1 and arccos ( x ) = π arccos x -

can someone explain to me, an ignorant high school student, why the trend of the graph doesn't follow the fact that the higher frequency a sound wave is, the more power it is, hence, making me think the phons output would follow this general trend?
Joseph Reply
Nevermind i just realied that the graph is the phons output for a person with normal hearing and not just the phons output of the sound waves power, I should read the entire thing next time
Joseph
Follow up question, does anyone know where I can find a graph that accuretly depicts the actual relative "power" output of sound over its frequency instead of just humans hearing
