Answer:
- 4
Step-by-step explanation:
The average rate of f(x) in the closed interval [ a, b ] is

Here [ a, b ] = [ - 2, 2 ]
f(b) = f(2) = 9 ← from table value of f(x) for x = 2
f(a) = f(- 2) = 25 ← from table value of f(x) for x = - 2, thus
average rate of change =
=
= - 4
We have that
<span>log10 E = 4.4 + 1.5<span>M
</span></span>E=<span>the released energy in Joules (J)
M= </span><span>earthquake measures---------- > 3.6
</span>log10 E = 4.4 + 1.5*3.6
log10 E = 9.8----------> E=10^(9.8)= 6.309573444 x10^9 J
<span>
the answer is </span>6.309573444 x10^9 J<span>
