Answer 5

yeah, i never covered this type of stuff in music class, just learned how to read it and play the trombone.

Answer 6

i cant find a good solution to this, not without taking acoustic/music theory

Answer 7

not D3, D# perhaps

Answer 8

sorry afk >< and It's a math problem from math class :P

Answer 9

The perfect 5th below D# is a G#

but i dont know its frequency yet

Answer 10

Huh? >< Might wanna take another gander at the problem it is shooting frequencies no notes there D# and G# are out of my horizon.

Answer 11

yeah, apparently the notation like G4 means 4th octave above middle g?

Answer 12

at any rate, i might have a solution strategy

when we double the frequency, we step an octave.

an octave is divided into 12 or 13 half steps .. and perfect and major are just names that i see no bearing on frequenct

Answer 13

LiteLegacy.exe has stopped working: huh?

the scale they give is a number off: D3 has the D2 value

Answer 16

AH thank you kindly or that.

Answer 17

the heck.....I might just wing the answers because I am totally confuse

Answer 18

a 5th is 7 half steps ... according to the links

E is the perfect 5th above A, since it is A+7 steps

Answer 19

D-7 gets us to G

so D2 is where we start and we drop to G1

Answer 20

...I am going to get this in Hz units right ?

Answer 21

A4 is 440 (your A5)

half of that is 220, so what is 440+2(220)? this gets us 2 full octaves above it

Answer 22

oh!! Nice algebra there !!

Answer 23

ive got that off, i didnt see the octave right

Answer 24

if we start at 440

440+440 gets us 1 octave, we double the start

2(440) is on octave, then double again

2(2)(440) is 2 octaves above

Answer 25

i see no rhyme or reason to it other than the octaves ... the fifths and whatnots are just from the table

Answer 26

Ah okay Gotcha ^^

Answer 27

for example

A1 = 55, A2=110 for an interval of length 55

55/13 = 4.23... assuming each half step is linear (but its not)

55 + 7(55)/13 = 84.615....

E is a 5th above A, but that table shows E1=82.4, not 84.6

so i got no real recourse for that

Answer 28

0-0 what about the D3 ? (the example kinda confused me)

Answer 29

D3 = 146.8

D2 = 73.4

for an interval length of 73.4

146.8 -7(73.4)/13 = 107.27 , which is no where close to 98

Answer 30

the labeling on the site i got the table from is 1 off

D2, - (7 steps) = G1

G1 has a value of about 98

rowG col1

Answer 31

we can table up percentages ... but all thats doing is reorganizing a table that someone else has written

Answer 32

math must really hate me...I will just wing it on the second one ><

Answer 33

.06
.12
.18
.26
.32

as approximations, the percentages seem to be linear

Answer 34

0-0

Answer 35

I dont know music theory so i cant comment on the verity of it.

Answer 36

lol it's okay :) Thank for your help with everything and sticking with me for an hour.

Answer 37

lets say we start at a freq of 55, the interval of the octave is also 55.

.06 of the interval is a step;
A = 55

A# = 55 + .06(55) = 58.3
G = 58.3(1.06) = 61.8
G#= 61.8(1.06) = 65.5

E= 55(1.06)^7 = 82.7, ball park

E is a perfect 5th above A
--------------------------

if D3 = 146.83, our rate of change is 1-.06 = .94

lets test this out

146.83(.94)^7 = 95.22 which is in the ball park of 98 as far as the options go.

Answer 38

oh well, its fun to play with, but thats about it :) good luck

Answer 39

Thx I passed with a 70 % (good enough)

Answer 40

yay! or at least its worth a cookie? meh, it ok i spose lol

Answer 41

Lmbo, I wish for the cookie.
