The magnitude, M, of an earthquake is defined to be M=log I/S, where I is the intensity of the earthquake (measured by the amplitude of the seismograph wave) and S is the intensity of a “standard” earthquake, which is barely detectable. What is the magnitude of an earthquake that is 35 times more intense than a standard earthquake? Use a calculator. Round your answer to the nearest tenth.

Answers

Answer 1

log(35) = 1.544

 rounded to nearest tenth = 1.5

Answer 2

Answer: The magnitude of the earthquake that is 35 times more intense than a standard earthquake=1.5



Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The magnitude M of an earthquake is defined to be  [tex]M=\log \frac{I}{S}[/tex]---(1)

, where I is the intensity of the earthquake (measured by the amplitude of the seismograph wave) and

S is the intensity of a “standard” earthquake, which is barely detectable.

If  the magnitude of an earthquake that is 35 times more intense than a standard earthquake

⇒Intensity of earthquake I=35 S

Substitute the value of I in (1), we get [tex]M=\log(\frac{35S}{S})=\log(35)=\log(5\times7)=1.544068[/tex] [tex]\approx1.5[/tex]

The magnitude of the earthquake that is 35 times more intense than a standard earthquake=1.5

while on vacation, your family budgeted $550 for food. Your family went to the grocery store for drinks and snacks and spent $67.19 Each meal you are going to eat out had a budget of $55

Which expression describes the amount of money left in your after you consume your meals ?

A. 550 - (67.19 + 55x)
B.550- x(67.19 -55)
C.550-x(67.19+55)
D.550-(67.19-55x)

Answers

550 for food...u spent 67.19 for drinks and snacks....u spent 55 for each meal (x)

so ur equation would be : 550 - (67.19 + 55x)

Final answer:

The correct expression to calculate the remaining budget for food after spending on groceries and meals out is 550 - (67.19 + 55x), which is option A.

Explanation:

The question asks us to determine which expression correctly represents the amount of money left in the budget for food after the family has spent money on groceries and consumed their meals. The original budget for food is $550, and the family spent $67.19 on drinks and snacks. Each meal they plan to eat out is budgeted at $55. Let's denote the number of meals the family will eat out as 'x'.

To calculate the remaining budget after these expenses, we subtract the cost of groceries and the total cost of eating out (which is $55 times the number of meals 'x'), from the original budget for food. The correct mathematical expression for the remaining budget is:

550 - (67.19 + 55x)

This expression is represented by option A. This correctly factors in the initial expenditure on groceries of $67.19 and then subtracts $55 for each meal 'x' from the remaining budget.

How to find slope and y intercept 6x-5y=15?

Answers

we need to put this equation in y = mx + b form because in this form, the slope will be in the m position and the y intercept will be in the b position. So basically, we solve for y.

6x - 5y = 15 ....subtract 6x from both sides
-5y = -6x + 15...divide both sides by -5
(-5/-5)y = (-6/-5)x + (15/-5)...simplify
y = 6/5x - 3

y = mx + b...remember, m is ur slope and b is ur y int
y = (6/5)x + (-3).....ur slope(m) = 6/5 and ur y int (b) = -3

What is the perimeter of a square with an area of 144 square inches?

Answers

Hi!

Since we know a square has sides of equal length, and to find the area of a square you square one of the side lengths, find the square root of 144.

The square root of 144 is 12.

So the means each side length is 12.

A perimeter is the distance around the square, or all of the side lengths added together.

4 sides on a square, each length is 12...
12 x 4 = 48

The perimeter is 48

The ball’s motion can be modeled using the function f(x) = –10x2 + 20x + 8. What is the height of the ball 1.5 seconds after it is thrown?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Alright, lets get started.

The function that models the height of the ball is given by :

[tex]f(x)=-10x^2+20x+8[/tex]

When we plug x as 1.5 , we could get the height f(1.5) as :

[tex]f(1.5)=-10(1.5)^2 +20*1.5 +8[/tex]

[tex]f(1.5)=-22.5+30+8[/tex]

There are five position players on a starting basketball team: 2 guards, 2 forwards, 1 canter. Write a ratio in simplest from to express each relationship

Answers

Final answer:

The ratios for the basketball positions in simplest form are guards as 2:5, forwards as 2:5, and the center as 1:5.

Explanation:

The question asks to write ratios for the positions on a basketball team and then to express those ratios in simplest form. There are 5 position players on a starting basketball team, consisting of 2 guards, 2 forwards, and 1 center. To express the relationships between each position, we can write the ratios of guards to the total number of players, forwards to the total number of players, and the center to the total number of players.

The ratio of guards to the total number of players is 2 guards to 5 total players, which simplifies to 2:5.

The ratio of forwards to the total number of players is 2 forwards to 5 total players, simplifying to 2:5.

Lastly, the ratio of the center to the total number of players is 1 center to 5 total players, simplified as 1:5.

a customer brings in a item for refund.The price on the item is $4.80 and the tax is 5%.How much including tax should the cashier refund back to the customer

Answers

The entire amount will be the price multiplied by 1.05 (which is the price plus 5% of the price) This is 4.80 X 1.05= $5.04

Answer:

The cashier should refund back to the customer $5,04

Step-by-step explanation:

The cashier has to refund the amount the customer paid, which was the price plus the proportional tax.

Refund=price+tax

Price=$4.80

Tax=$4.80 * 0,05= $0,24

Refund=$4.80 +$0,24=$5,04

What are the solutions to x2 8x 7 = 0? x = –8 and x = –7 x = –7 and x = –1 x = 1 and x = 7 x = 7 and x = 8?

Answers

We want to solve
x² + 8x + 7 = 0

Factorize the left side.
x² + 8x + 7 = (x + 1)(x + 7)

Therefore
(x + 1)(x + 7) = 0
When (x + 1) = 0, obtain x = -1.
When (x + 7) = 0, obtain x = -7.

The solutions are x = -1 and x = -7

Answer: x = -7  and x = -1.


The correct solutions to the given equation are x = 1 and x = 7.

The solutions to the equation x² - 8x + 7 = 0 are x = 1 and x = 7.

To find these solutions, we can factor the quadratic equation by finding two numbers that multiply to 7 (the constant term) and add up to -8 (the coefficient of the x term).

Therefore, the correct solutions to the given equation are x = 1 and x = 7.

What is the multiplicative rate of change of the exponential function shown on the graph?

A) 2/9
B) 1
C) 4
D) 9/2

Answers

Answer:

Option: D is correct.

9/2

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to find the multiplicative rate of change of the exponential function shown on the graph.

We know that a general exponential function is given as:

[tex]y=ab^x[/tex]

where b is the multiplicative rate of change.

Now when x=0 we have y=1.

i.e. 1=a

Hence, a=1

and y=b^x

Also,

the graph passes through (1,9/2)

Now when x=1 we have y=9/2

i.e.

9/2=b

Hence, the multiplicative rate of change is:

9/2

The correct answer is A) 2/9. The multiplicative rate of change of the exponential function shown on the graph is A) 2/9.

To determine the multiplicative rate of change of an exponential function from its graph, we need to identify two points on the graph that are one unit apart horizontally (i.e., one unit apart in the x-direction). The multiplicative rate of change is the ratio of the function values (y-values) of these two points.

Let's assume we have two points, (x, y) and (x+1, y'), where y and y' are the corresponding y-values of the exponential function at these x-values. The multiplicative rate of change, r, is given by:

[tex]\[ r = \frac{y'}{y} \][/tex]

From the graph, we can identify two such points. For example, if the function passes through the y-axis at (0, 1) and then at (1, 2/9), we can calculate the multiplicative rate of change as follows:

[tex]\[ r = \frac{2/9}{1} = \frac{2}{9} \][/tex]

This is the multiplicative rate of change of the exponential function. It indicates that for every unit increase in x, the y-value is multiplied by 2/9.

Therefore, the multiplicative rate of change of the exponential function shown on the graph is A) 2/9.

how do you solve this absolute value equation? ∣x−2∣=∣4+x∣

Answers

l x - 2 l = l 4 + x l

Remember : Absolute is just the distance from zero.

Ex : l -4 l turns into 4, as it is 4 spaces away from zero on a number line :)

l x - 2 l turns into x + 2

l 4 + x l stays the same.

So, our equation now looks like this :

x + 2 = 4 + x

So, we're basically just trying to get x by itself.

So, subtract 2 from both sides.

x = 4 + x - 2

Then, subtract x from both sides.

x - x = 4 -2 

0 = 2

Therefore, there are no solutions to this equation :)

What is the area of a triangle whose vertices are
R(−4, 2),S(1, 2), and T(−5, −4)?
 
Enter your answer in the box

Answers

ANSWER

15 square units.

EXPLANATION

This triangle has one of its height(altitudes) falling outside the triangle.

We determine the base using absolute value method. This is because the coordinates of [tex]R(-4,2)[/tex] and [tex]S(1,2)[/tex] tell us that this line is horizontal. The y-values are constant.

Therefore [tex]|RS|=|1--4|[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow |RS|=|1+4|[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow |RS|=|5|[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow |RS|=5[/tex]

Also

The triangle is bounded between [tex]y=2[/tex] and [tex]y=-4[/tex].

Therefore the vertical height of interest,

[tex]|RT|=|-4-2|[/tex]

[tex]|RT|=|-6|[/tex]

[tex]|RT|=6[/tex]

We can now find the area using the formula

[tex]Area=\frac{1}{2}base\times height[/tex]

[tex]Area=\frac{1}{2}\times6 \times 5[/tex]

[tex]Area=3 \times 5[/tex]

[tex]Area=15[/tex] square units

Answers

I'm going to assume that the equation is [tex]\frac{5}{16}t = -9[/tex] where the 't' is not in the denominator

If that assumption is correct, then we do two things to solve for t. First, we multiply both sides by 16. This undoes the division of 16 on the left side

[tex]\frac{5}{16}t = -9[/tex]

[tex]16*\frac{5}{16}t = 16*(-9)[/tex]

[tex]5t = -144[/tex]

-------------------------------

Then we divide both sides by 5 to undo the multiplication of 5 (note: 5t means 5*t or "5 times t")

[tex]5t = -144[/tex]

[tex]\frac{5t}{5} = \frac{-144}{5}[/tex]

[tex]t = -\frac{144}{5}[/tex]

-------------------------------

So here's what all the steps look like:

[tex]\frac{5}{16}t = -9[/tex]

[tex]16*\frac{5}{16}t = 16*(-9)[/tex]

[tex]5t = -144[/tex]

[tex]\frac{5t}{5} = \frac{-144}{5}[/tex]

[tex]t = -\frac{144}{5}[/tex]

note: -144/5 converts to the decimal value of -28.8 so t = -144/5 is the same as t = -28.8
