    The two possible frequencies of the other player's note are 437.3 Hz and 442.7 Hz

    Explanation:

    Given Data

    f₁=440 Hz

    fₐ=2.7 beats per seconds

    The beat frequency is equal to the difference in the frequencies of the two original waves:

    So

    f = | (f₁±fₐ) |

    First to Solve for (-) Sign we get

    f=| (440-2.7) |

    f=437.3 Hz

    Now for Solve for (+) Sign we get

    f=| (440+2.7) |

    f=442.7 Hz

    The two possible frequencies of the other player's note are 437.3 Hz and 442.7 Hz
