Answer:

\frac{I_1}{I_2} =5

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use Richter scale formula

R=log(I)

where

I is intensity

R is Richter scale value

First case:

On May 22, 1960, an earthquake in Chile measured 9.5 on the Richter scale

so, we get

9.5=log(I_1)

Second case:

On February 27, 2010, another earthquake in Chile measured 8.8 on the Richter scale

so, we get

8.8=log(I_2)

we can subtract both equations

9.5-8.8=log(I_1)-log(I_2)

log(\frac{I_1}{I_2} )=0.7

\frac{I_1}{I_2} =10^{0.7}

\frac{I_1}{I_2} =5

Tanα=y/x

y=xtanα, we are told that x=25ft and α=30°

y≈14.43 ft  (to nearest hundredth of a foot)

Since their home is 20 feet from the base of the tree, it poses no risk right now.

The function f(x) = x2. The graph of g(x) is f(x) translated to the right 3 units and down 3 units. What is the function rule fo
Kaylis [27]

The rule for g(x) is: f(x) = (x-3)^2-3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given function is:

f(x) = x^2

When a function f(x) is shifted right or left, b units the new function is written as:

f(x) = x

Shifting right

g(x) = f(x-b)

Shifting left

g(x) = f(x+b)

Similarly, when shifting up or down

g(x) = f(x)+b => Up\\g(x) = f(x) - b => Down

As our given function is shifted 3 units to the right, it will be written as:

f(x) = (x-3)^2

The function is when moved down 3 units, then

f(x) = (x-3)^2-3

Hence

The rule for g(x) is: f(x) = (x-3)^2-3
