We are required to compare the magnitude for two earthquake intensity:
the larger intensity is 7.9
the smaller intensity is 3.7
thus the ratio of the intensity will be:
(larger intensity)/(smaller intensity)
=7.9/3.7
=2.135
~2
Thus we conclude that:
The larger earthquake's intensity was 2 times as great as the smaller earthquake's intensity.
You can solve this with a proportion. If you know that 23 tagged alligators were in a 200 alligator sample, there are 90 tagged alligators in the entire river. Written otherwise:
23/200 = 90/x
and solve for x:
x = 782.608...
So the "best estimate" would be around 783 alligators. Hope that helps! If you liked this answer please rate it as brainliest!! thank you!!!
A²-b²=(a-b)(a+b)
4x² - 25= (2x)²- 5² =(2x-5)(2x+5)
You do not have this choice, so the answer is D.None of the above.

Answer: (-infinity, 7]</h3>
=====================================
Explanation:
The first interval (-infinity, 3) describes any number less than 3, so we can write x < 3 in short hand (where x is the unknown number).
The second interval (-1, 7] means we start at -1 and stop at 7. We do not include -1 but include 7. So we say that 
(ie x is between -1 and 7; exclude -1, include 7)
If you were to graph each ona number line, you would see that the too intervals have overlapping parts. The right most edge extends out as far as x = 7. There is no left most edge as it goes onforever that direction.
Therefore, the to intervals combine to get 
which turns into the interval notation answer of (-infinity, 7]
-----------
It might help to think of it like this: x < 3 and say "x is some number that is less than 3, or it is between -1 and 7". So x could be anything less than 7, including 7 itself.
