Earthquakes are measured by the Richter scale and demonstrated by the formula R=log(A/A(o))where A measures the amplitude of the

earthquake wave and A(o) is the amplitude of the smallest detectable wave (or standard wave). An earthquake measures 6.6 on the Richter scale. How many times as great is the earthquake wave when compared to the standard wave? Round to the nearest whole number.

Step-by-step explanation:

r =  log( \frac{a}{a(0)} )

we know that

r is 6.6

6.6 =  log( \frac{a}{a(o)} )

10 {}^{6.6}  = 10 {}^{ log( \frac{a}{a(0)} ) }

10 {}^{6.6}  =  \frac{a}{a(o)}

10 {}^{6.6} a(o) = a

This means that

the amplitude of earthquake wave is about 3981071 times greater than the amplitude of the standard wave.

What is the slope of the line shown below?
strojnjashka [21]

Because we're given two points on the line, we can apply the slope formula to find the answer:

\frac{y.2 - y.1}{x.2 - x.1} = m

-4 - 8 / 2 - (-1)

-12 / 3

-4

<h3>The slope of the line is -4.</h3>
