Answer:

The intensity of an earthquake with magnitude 5.4 greater than an earthquake with magnitude 5.3 is about 1.3 times greater.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : An earthquake with the magnitude 5.4 greater than an earthquake with magnitude 5.3.

To find : By what approximate factor is the intensity of an earthquake of given magnitudes is greater?

Solution :

The equation for the magnitude of an earthquake is given by

M=\log(\frac{I}{I_{0}})

Where, I is the intensity of earthquake and I_0  is constant.

For an earthquake with magnitude 5.4,

5.4= log(\frac{I_{1} }{I_{0} })

Similarly, for an earthquake with magnitude 5.3,

5.3= log(\frac{I_{2} }{I_{0} })

Now, equating both the magnitudes

\frac{log(\frac{I_{1} }{I_{0} })}{log(\frac{I_{2} }{I_{0} })} =\frac{5.4 }{5.3 } \\\\(\frac{I_{1} }{I_{2} })=\frac{10^{5.4} }{10^{5.3} }\\\\(\frac{I_{1} }{I_{2} }) =10^{5.4-5.3}=1.2589\simeq 1.3\\\\I_{1} =1.3I_{2}

The intensity of an earthquake with magnitude 5.4 greater than an earthquake with magnitude 5.3 is about 1.3 times greater.

The factor is 1.3.

Can someone help me with this? its solving systems by substitution
yKpoI14uk [10]
Answer: x = 1 and y = 2

Given:
y = -3x + 5
5x - 4y = -3

Since we are given y, let’s sub it in the second equation.

5x - 4(-3x + 5) = -3
5x + 12x - 20 = -3
17x = 17
x = 1

After finding x, we can now find y.

5(1) - 4y = -3
-4y = -8
y = 2

Checking:

y = -3x + 5
2 = -3(1) + 5
2 = 2


5x - 4y = -3
5(1) - 4(2) = -3
-3 = -3

Find the least common denominator for these two rational expressions 7/n^2 -8/7n
lianna [129]

Answer:

7n²

Step-by-step explanation:

7/n² - 8/7n

Least common multiple will be the least common denominator

L.C.M = 7n²

Dividing the L.C.M by denominators and multiplying with numerators;

((7×7) - (n×8))/7n²

= (49 - 8n)/7n²

7n² is the least common denominator

X/3 -6 =y<br><br> Solve for x
Paul [167]

Answer:

x= 3(y+6) or x = 3y + 18

Step-by-step explanation:

get the "x" by itself.

so first +6 on both sides of the equation to make it x/3=y+6

then multiply both sides by 3 to make it x=(y+6)*3
