Okay, I have this problem worked out, but I have no clue if my answers are right. Could someone please check my work and give me some confidence or show me where I may have messed up.

Two loudspeakers, one of them generates sound with 400 W power the other with 100 W. The...
Homework Statement
A certain loudspeaker system emits sound isotropically with a frequency of 1770 Hz and an intensity of 0.892 mW/m2 at a distance of 5.66 m. Assume that there are no reflections. (a) What is the intensity (in mW/m2) at 30.8 m? At 5.66 m, what are (b) the displacement amplitude...
Oops! I looked at the equation again and it's π/4.0 cm-1, not 4.0π. That is what I used to get the result I did. I have gone back and edited my original post to reflect this. I hope that when calculated with π/4, you get the same thing as I do.
EDIT: Okay, apparently my method was right, but...
A string oscillates according to the equation
y´ = (0.654 cm) sin[(π/4.0 cm-1)x] cos[(24.2π s-1)t].
What are the (a) amplitude and (b) speed of the two waves (identical except for direction of travel) whose superposition gives this oscillation? (c) What is the distance between nodes? (d) What...
