The magnitude, M, of an earthquake is defined to be M=log I/S, where I is the intensity of the earthquake (measured by the ampli

tude of the seismograph wave) and S is the intensity of a “standard” earthquake, which is barely detectable. What is the magnitude of an earthquake that is 10 times more intense than a standard earthquake? Use a calculator. Round your answer to the nearest tenth.

Answer:

<h2>1</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

       Magnitude M of an earthquake is defined as M=log\text{ }\frac{I}{S}. Here I is the Intensity of the earthquake and  S is the intensity of standard earthquake.

       We have an earthquake that is 10 times more intense than a standard earthquake. Let us denote the intensity of the earthquake as I.

       10 times more intense than standard earthquake ⇒ I=10S

   Magnitude of the earthquake = M\text{ = }log\text{ }\dfrac{I}{S}\text{ = }log\text{ }\dfrac{10S}{S}\text{ = }log\text{ }10\text{ = }log_{10}\text{ }10\text{ = }1

∴ Magnitude of the earthquake is 1.

Domain of the function of a graph with coordinates (-3,-2)
olga2289 [7]

Answer:

Domain is -3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that coordinate of a graph is (-3, -2)

We have to find out the domain.

We know that if A and B are two sets, a mapping from A to B is the subset of cartesian product AxB.

Domain is the set of values of A which have images in B.

Use the above definition.

We have A = {-3,...} and B = {-2,....}

The mapping is from -3 to -2

Hence domain is -3

Eamon wants to buy a new baseball glove that costs $50. he has $14 and earns $6 per hour cleaning yards. How many hours must he
konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

The answer is that he would have to work 6 hours to have enough money to buy the glove.

Step-by-step explanation:

1: Find the amount he needs to earn by subtracting $14 from $50: 50 - 14 = 36. So he needs to earn $36.00.

2: Since you have to find the amount of hours, you can divide $6 from $36 to get the amount of hours he needs to work: 36 / 6 = 6. Eamon only gets $6.00 per hour so he would have to work 6 hours to get the $36.00.
