Answer:

49/8 is the value of k

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the system

x = -2y^2 - 3y + 5

x=k

We want to find k such that the system intersects once.

If we substitute the second into the first giving us k=-2y^2-3y+5 we should see we have a quadratic equation in terms of variable y.

This equation has one solution when it's discriminant is 0.

Let's first rewrite the equation in standard form.

Subtracting k on both sides gives

0=-2y^2-3y+5-k

The discriminant can be found by evaluating

b^2-4ac.

Upon comparing 0=-2y^2-3y+5-k to 0=ax^2+bx+c, we see that

a=-2, b=-3, and c=5-k.

So we want to solve the following equation for k:

(-3)^2-4(-2)(5-k)=0

9+8(5-k)=0

Distribute:

9+40-8k=0

49-8k=0

Add 8k on both sides:

49=8k

Divide both sides by 8"

49/8=k

Answer:

  d.  about 50 times larger

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expressions for magnitude (M) can be solved for the intensity (I). Then the ratio of intensities is ...

  \dfrac{I_2}{I_1}=\dfrac{I_0\cdot 10^{M_2}}{I_0\cdot 10^{M_1}}=10^{M_2-M_1}=10^{4.2-2.5}\\\\=10^{1.7}\approx 50

The larger earthquake had about 50 times the intensity of the smaller one.
