You could use the information from part A to get B. I'm not sure if you want A or not, so I'll do it as well.

A

Eo = 10^4.4 Joules

E = 2 * 10^15

Formula

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

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

M = 2/3 * log( 7.9621* 10^10)

M = 2/3 * 10.901

M = 7.26735 on the Richter scale. That is a huge amount of energy.

Part B

Suppose that you use Eo and your base. Eo is 10^4.4

Now the new earthquake is E = 10000 * Eo

So what you get now is M = (2/3)* Log(10000 * Eo / Eo )

The Eo's cancel out.

M = 2/3 * log(10000)

M = 2/3 of 4

M = 8/3

M = 2.6667 difference in the Richter Scale Reading. It is still an awful lot of energy.

What this tells you is that if the original reading was (say) 6 then the 10000 times bigger reading would 8.266667

Answer: M = 2.6667

For f(x)=4x+1 and g(x)=x^2-5,find(f•g)(4)
RoseWind [281]

Answer:

(f•g)(4) = 45

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=4x+1

g(x)=x^2-5

(f•g)(x) = 4(x^2 -5)+1

(f•g)(4) = 4(4^2 -5)+1

(f•g)(4) = 4(16-5)+1

(f•g)(4) = 4(11)+1

(f•g)(4) = 44 + 1

(f•g)(4) = 45

C) vertical translation down 6 units

and

d) reflection

the negative at the beginning shows there is a reflection, and the -6 as the k value means it’s moving down 6. hope this helps:))
