Answer:

the intensity increases by a factor of 10, the Ritcher scale uses a logarithm with base 10. For example an earthquake with magnitude 2 is 10^2 times more intense than a standard earthquake, while an earthquake with magnitude 3 is 10^3 times more intense than a standard earthquake, and 10^3 = 10^2 • 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

Because of the logarithmic basis of the scale, each whole number increase in magnitude represents a tenfold increase in measured amplitude; in terms of energy, each whole number increase corresponds to an increase of about 31.6 times the amount of energy released, and each increase of 0.2 corresponds to approximately a doubling of the energy released.

___ cosb =1/2 sin(a+b)+sin(a-b)?
vodomira [7]

Answer:

That would be sina.

Step-by-step explanation:

sin(a+b) = sinacosb + cosasinb

sin(a-b) = sinacosb -  cosasinb

Adding we get  sin(a+b) + sin(a-b) = 2sinaccosb

so sinacosb = 1/2sin(a+b) + sin(a-b)

Write an absolute value equation to satisfy the given solution set shown on a number line.
aivan3 [116]

Answer: IX - 4I ≤ 4

Step-by-step explanation:

In the numer line we can see that our possible values of x are in the range:

0 ≤ x ≤ 8

And we want to find an absolute value equation such that this set is the set of possible solutions.

An example can be:

IX - 4I ≤ 4

To construct this, we first find the midpoint M of our set, in this case is 4.

Then we write:

Ix - MI  ≤ IMI

Notice that i am using the minor and equal sign, this is because the black dots means that the values x = 0 and x = 8 are included, if the dots were empty dots, it would be an open set and we should use the <  > signs.
