On the Richter scale, the magnitude, M, of an earthquake is given by M= 2/3logE/Eo, where E is the energy released by the earthq

uake measured in joules, and Eo is the energy released by a very small reference earthquake. Eo has been standardized to 10^4.4 joules.
Part A
The earthquake in Haiti in 2010 released 2.0*10^15 joules. What was its magnitude on the Richter scale?

Part B
If the energy release of one earthquake is 10,000 times that of another, how much larger is the Richter scale reading of the larger earthquake than the smaller?

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A

<em><u>Formula</u></em>

M = 2/3 * log(E/Eo)

<em><u>Givens</u></em>

M = ??

E = 2 * 10^15 joules

Eo = 10^4.4

<em><u>Solution</u></em>

M = (2/3) * log(2 * 10^15 / 10^4.4)

M = (2/3 ) log (7.96 * 10 ^ 11)

M = (2/3) * 11.901

M = 7.934

Part B

What the question is saying is that E/Eo = 10000

You don't have to figure out exact values.

M = 2/3 * log(10000)

M = 2/3 * 4

M = 8/3 or 2 2/3 or 2.66667

If you have choices, please list them.

5x+5y=-30 find the x and y intercept
Masja [62]

<em>The x and y intercept of 5x + 5y = -30 are (-6, 0) and (0, -6) respectively.</em>

<h2 /><h2>Explanation:</h2>

The Standard Form of the equation of a line is given by:

Ax+By=C \\ \\ A,B,C \ Real \ Constants \ and \ A>0

So:

5x+5y=-30

is written in Standard Form. The x and y intercepts are:

x-intercept: \ (x,0) \\ \\ y-intercept: \ (0,y)

So:

FOR X-INTERCEPT:

Let's \ set: \\ y=0 \\ \\ 5x+5(0)=-30 \\ \\ Isolating \ x: \\ \\ 5x=-30 \\ \\ x=-\frac{30}{5} \\ \\ \boxed{x=-6}

FOR Y-INTERCEPT:

Let's \ set: \\ x=0 \\ \\ 5(0)+5y=-30 \\ \\ Isolating \ x: \\ \\ 5y=-30 \\ \\ y=-\frac{30}{5} \\ \\ \boxed{y=-6}

Finally,<em> the x and y intercept of 5x + 5y = -30 are (-6, 0) and (0, -6) respectively.</em>
