The factor of intensity increase for each whole number increase in the Richter scale is 10. This is because the Richter scale is a logarithmic scale that has a base of 10. As an example, a Richter scale of 1 increased to 2 will have an intensity increase of 
10^2 / 10^1 = 10

Answer:

The intensity increases by a factor of 10.

The Richter scale uses a logarithm with base 10.

For example, an earthquake with magnitude 2 is 102 times more intense than a standard earthquake, while an earthquake with magnitude 3 is 103 times more intense than a standard earthquake, and 103 = 102 × 10.

pentagon [3]

Answer:

A) -4

B) 4 units apart

C) no values of x

Step-by-step explanation:

1) slope of m: (3-2)/(10-8) = ½

m(x) = ½x + c

2 = ½(8) + c

c = -2

m(x) = ½x - 2

m(16) = 6

h(4) = (4-2)²/2 = 4/2 = 2

h(4)-m(16) = 2-6 = -4

B) y-intercept of:

*h(x) = ½(0-2)² = 2

*m(x) = -2

from the equation found before

2 - (-2) = 4 units apart

C) m(x) = (x-4)/2

m(x) > h(x)

(x-4)/2 > ½(x-2)²

x-4 > x²-4x+4

x²-5x+8 < 0

(x - 2.5)² + 1.75 < 0

Never negative

Solve<br> -7x = 21<br> X =<br> please help ASAP
Tomtit [17]

Answer: x = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

i simply divided by -7, in order to get x by itself.

-7/-7x = 21/-7

that cancels out the -7 on the left side, and leaves us with -3 on the right side!

x = -3

X is a number from the set [3,5,6] and y is a number from the set [4,7,8,9]. If xz/y is an integer and z is a positive integer,
UNO [17]

The smallest possible value of z is the denominator of the reduced fraction x/y. We note the prime factors of the members of set y are

... 2², 7, 2³, 3²

so if there are any even members of set x, the fraction can be reduced to something divided by 2. The number 6 in set x is even, so we have

... 6z/4 = 6·2/4 = 3 (an integer) when z=2

The lowest possible value of z is ...

... B) 2

How will you know if two variables are proportional on a graph?
MArishka [77]

Answer:

Compare the constants of the two variables.

Changed at the same rate, or by the same factor, then they are directly proportional. For example, since the x-coordinates changed by a factor of 2 while the y-coordinates also changed by a factor of 2, the two variables are directly proportional.
