Question

What is the value of x when the Richter scale rating is 6? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.

Answer 1

Answer:

The value of x=1000000

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the relation

• Rating = log (ratio)

so

$\log \:_{10}\left(x\right)=6$

then

$x=10^{\log _{10}\left(x\right)}$

$x=10^6$

$x=1000000$

Thus,

The value of x=1000000
