59. MUSIC A musical cent is a unit in a logarithmic scale of relative pitch or intervals. One octave is equal to 1200 cents. The formula
can be used to determine the difference in cents between two notes with
frequencies a and b. a. Find the interval in cents when the frequency changes from 443 Hertz (Hz) to 415 Hz. b. If the interval is 55 cents and the beginning frequency is 225 Hz, find the final frequency. SOLUTION: a. Substitute 443 and 415for a and b then evaluate.
The interval is 113.03 cents.
b. Substitute 55 and 225 for n and a then solve for b.
