Answer:

The intensity of the 2011 earthquake was about 6 times the intensity of the 2003 earthquake.

Step-by-step explanation:

To compare the intensities, we first need to convert the magnitudes to intensities using the log formula. Then we will set up a ratio to compare the intensities.

Convert the magnitudes to intensities and write them in exponential form.

R=logI

2011 earthquake:

9.1I=logI=109.1

2003 earthquake:

8.3I=logI=108.3

Form a ratio of the intensities.

intensity for 2011intensity for 2003

Substitute in the values and divide by subtracting the exponents to find

109.1108.3100.8≈6.

The intensity of the 2011 earthquake was about 6 times the intensity of the 2003 earthquake.

Your answer:

The intensity of the 2011 earthquake was about 15 times the intensity of the 2003 earthquake.

What is the sum of the first five terms of a geometric series with a1 = 6 and r = 1/3? Express your answer as an improper fracti
Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

  242/27

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the formula for the sum, you can fill in the given values and do the arithmetic.

  Sn = a1·(r^n -1)/(r -1)

  S5 = 6·((1/3)^5 -1)/(1/3 -1) = 6(-242/243)/(-2/3) = 6·(121/81)

  S5 = 242/27

_____

Or, you can write the terms and add them up. The sum is ...

  6 + 2 + 2/3 + 2/9 + 2/27 = (162 +54 +18 +6 +2)/27 = 242/27

The relation between A and B subset is A⊆B

What is Subsets?

A set "X" is said to be the subset of "Y" is each elements of X is present in Y and is denoted by X⊆Y.

It should be noted that In roster notation, the use of the {" and "} character indicates that a set of numbers is a collection of elements, which can either be a finite or infinite collection.

Thus in the given question :

A={summer, autumn, spring, winter}

B={summer, winter}

"summer" and "winter" elements of B which is common and also presents in A therefore, B is subset of A and is denoted as A⊆B.
