Answer:

the intensity increases by a factor of 10, the Ritcher scale uses a logarithm with base 10. For example an earthquake with magnitude 2 is 10^2 times more intense than a standard earthquake, while an earthquake with magnitude 3 is 10^3 times more intense than a standard earthquake, and 10^3 = 10^2 • 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

Because of the logarithmic basis of the scale, each whole number increase in magnitude represents a tenfold increase in measured amplitude; in terms of energy, each whole number increase corresponds to an increase of about 31.6 times the amount of energy released, and each increase of 0.2 corresponds to approximately a doubling of the energy released.

A delivery company has a fleet of vans. The annual operating cost C (in dollars) per van is C = 0.37m + 2600, where m is the num
Gala2k [10]

Answer:

50,000 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

First,

If C is the annual operating cost, you can modify/substitute into the equation,

21,100 = 0.37m + 2600

Second, solve the equation for m,

0.37m = 18,500

m = 50,000

Hope this helps!!

If it is correct, please give me brainliest :)

Which choice is a graph of the solution set for 12 - X &lt; 8?<br> Pleaseeeee helpppppp NUMBER 14
yarga [219]

Answer:

B

Hope this helps!

explanation:

we solve the inequality and to do that we must first subtract 12 from both sides, which gets us -x<-4, then we divide both sides by -1, which gives us x>4, since we have to flip the sign when we divide by a negative. when we graph this, there will be a circle around 4 and the arrow pointing to the right, since it's greater than.

The sum of two numbers is 12 and their difference is 18 what are the two numbers
lawyer [7]

Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

x+y=12

x-y=18

Now eliminate the y by adding the two equations together to get

2x=30

x=15

then solve for y.

15+y=12

15-y=18

y= -3
