suppose you are trying to reproduce an A major scale from the early 18th or 19th century, when A4 was perhaps tuned to 429.3Hz. What is the correct frequency (in Hz) for the next C# up (assuming we want an equal tempered scale)? On this homework set your answers MUST be accurate to at least 0.1%, but do not enter any unit name.

I need a little help with figuring what the sequence is in this question and how to figure out how to calculate the whole whole half whole set up.

In this homework we will find frequencies for notes of an A major scale. The note names for this scale are A, B, C#, D, E, F#, G#, A. The # symbol means "sharp." (C# is the black key just above the white C key on the piano keyboard. See the online lecture notes.) If we start at A4 = 440 Hz, then the pitch of B4 can be found by multiplying 440 by the square of the twelfth root of two, since B is two semitones above A and each semitone raises the pitch by the 12th root of 2. Do this calculation and see if you get the frequency given in the online reference. Now, suppose you are trying to reproduce an A major scale from the early 18th or 19th century, when A4 was perhaps tuned to 429.3Hz. What is the correct frequency (in Hz) for the next C# up (assuming we want an equal tempered scale)?
