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>

Among all pairs of numbers with a sum of 105 , find the pair whose product is maximum. Write your answers as fractions reduced t
Bond [772]

Answer: Hence Pair( x, y) = [ 105/2, 105/2]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that;

Among all pairs of numbers with a sum of 105;

the pair whose product is maximum = ?

so let pairs of numbers with a sum of 105 be x and y respectively

x + y = 105

let y = 105 - x

now

product = xy =  x( 105 - x ) = 105x - x²

now

p(x) = 105x - x²

for maximum value of p

dp/dx =0

⇒ dp/dx = 105 - 2x = 0

2x = 105

x = 105/2

y + x = 105

y = 105 - x

y = 105 - 105/2 = 105/2

Hence Pair( x, y) = [ 105/2, 105/2]

-x^2 = -36
Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

x = ±6

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Pre-Algebra</u>

  • Order of Operations: BPEMDAS
  • Equality Properties

<u>Algebra II</u>

  • Extraneous solutions and multiple answers/roots

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

-x² = -36

<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>

  1. Divide -1 on both sides:                         x² = 36
  2. Square root both sides:                         x = ±6

<u>Step 3: Check</u>

<em>Plug in x to verify it's a solution.</em>

  1. Substitute in -6:                    -(-6)² = -36
  2. Exponents:                           -(36) = -36
  3. Multiply:                                -36 = -36
  1. Substitute in 6:                     -(6)² = -36
  2. Exponents:                           -(36) = -36
  3. Multiply:                                -36 = -36

Here we see that both -6 and 6 do indeed work as solutions.

∴ x = ±6 are both solutions to the equation.

Aleonysh [2.5K]

Step-by-step explanation:

Overtime rate= r+50%= 1.5r

Regular hours= 800/r

Overtime hours= 240/1.5r

Total hours worked

  • h=800/r+240/1.5r
  • h= 800/r+160/r
  • h=960/r
  • r=960/h
