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.

You would measure a book with centimeters because centimeters is much more smaller than a meter and easier to measure.

Drag the tiles to the correct boxes to complete the pairs. Not all tiles are used.
Sati [7]

Answer:

a) aₙ = 4.(2)^n-1

b) aₙ = 2+3(n-1)

c) aₙ = 3+4(n-1)

d) aₙ = 3.(4)^n-1

Step-by-step explanation:

a) a geometric sequence with first term of 4 and a common ratio of 2

aₙ = ar^n-1

where a is the first term and r is the common ratio

aₙ = 4.(2)^n-1

Comparing with the standard form:

1st term = 4

Common ratio = 2

b) an arithmetic sequence with a first term of 2 and a common difference of 3

The standard form of arithmetic sequence is:

aₙ = a₁ + d(n-1)

where a₁ is the first term and d is the common difference

Given: aₙ = 2+3(n-1)

Comparing with standard equation

First term = 2

Common difference = 3

c) an arithmetic sequence with a first term of 3 and a common difference of 4

The standard form of arithmetic sequence is:

aₙ = a₁ + d(n-1)

where a₁ is the first term and d is the common difference

Given: aₙ = 3+4(n-1)

Comparing with standard equation

First term = 2

Common difference = 3

d) a geometric sequence with first term of 3 and a common ratio of 4

aₙ = ar^n-1

where a is the first term and r is the common ratio

aₙ = 3.(4)^n-1

Comparing with the standard form:

1st term = 3

Common ratio = 4
