An earthquake of magnitude 9.1 occurred in 2004 in the Indian Ocean near Indonesia. It was about 74,900 times as strong as the greatest earthquake ever to hit Texas. Find the magnitude of the Texas earthquake. (Remember that an increase of 1.0 on the Richter scale means an earthquake is 30 times stronger.)
b. How does the solution of your equation help you find the magnitude?

Answers

Answer 1

The Magnitude of earthquake that hit Texas is 5.8; With the help of the logarithmic equation so found, we can get the value of M, with which we can get the magnitude of the Texas earthquake.

What is Logarithm?The opposite of exponentiation is the logarithm.This indicates that the exponent to which a fixed number, base b, must be raised in order to obtain a specific number x, is represented by the logarithm of that number.A number's natural logarithm is its logarithm to the base of the transcendental and irrational number e, which is roughly equivalent to 2.718281828459.

Given:

Magnitude of earthquake that hit Indian Ocean = 9.1 [tex]I_1[/tex] = Intensity of weaker earthquake[tex]I_2[/tex] = Intensity of greater earthquake.

To find: Magnitude of earthquake that hit Texas.

Finding:

From the given, [tex]\frac{I_2}{I_1}[/tex] gives the ratio of the greater earthquake's intensity to the weaker earthquake's intensity.This ratio, when written as an exponential equation, equals  [tex]30^M[/tex]  where M is the increase in magnitude difference:

=>  [tex]\frac{I_2}{I_1}[/tex] =  [tex]30^M[/tex]

For  [tex]\frac{I_2}{I_1}[/tex] = 74900, the above expression becomes:

=> 74900 = [tex]30^M[/tex]

Taking logarithm on both sides, with base 10 gives:

=> log (74900) = log ([tex]30^M[/tex])

As [tex]log_b(a)^m = m(log_b(a))[/tex],

=> log (74900) = M ( log (30))

=> [tex]\frac{log(74900)}{log (30)}[/tex] = M

=> M ≈ 3.3, i.e., the increase in magnitude difference is approximately 3.3.

Thus, the magnitude of the earthquake that hit Texas = 9.1 - 3.3 = 5.8.

The logarithmic equation, in terms of exponents, so formed is: 74900 = [tex]30^M[/tex]. By finding the solution of this equation, we get the value of M, which gives us the value of the increase in the magnitude of the earthquakes.With the help of this value so found, we can find the required value of the magnitude of earthquake in Texas, as we already know that of Indian Ocean, by basic algebra.

By applying the Alternate Interior Angles Theorem, the measure of angle x is: C. 60 degrees.

What is the Alternate Interior Angles Theorem?

The Alternate Interior Angles Theorem states that when two (2) parallel lines are cut through by a transversal, the alternate interior angles that are formed are congruent.

Since the two lines are parallel lines, angles 3 and 4 are alternate interior angles. Therefore, by applying the supplementary angle theorem, the measure of angle 3 is given by:

Q + R = 180°

85° + m<3 = 180°

Angle 3 = 180° - 85°

Angle 3 = 95°

Also, the sum of the angles formed on a straight line is supplementary and equal to 180°. Therefore, we have:

x + 25° + 95° = 180°

x + 120° = 180°

x = 180° - 120°

x = 60°

What does math's supplementary angle mean?

Angles that add up to 180 degrees are referred to as supplementary angles. For instance, angle 130° and angle 50° are complementary angles since the sum of these two angles is 180°. The sum of complimentary angles is 90 degrees.If two angles in geometry sum up to 180 degrees, they are considered to be supplementary angles. For instance, A and B are referred to as supplementary angles if A + B = 180°.

Let the larger angle be x.

Smaller angle = x - 8

As both angles are supplementary,

x + (x - 8) = 180°

2x - 8 = 180°

2x = 188°

x = 94°

Therefore, larger angle = 94°

Smaller angle = 94° - 8° = 86°

The unitary method is a technique for solving a problem by first finding the value of a single unit, and then finding the necessary value by multiplying the single unit value.

From the question, we can write -

Ribbon       Cost per Yard ($)

Chiffon                 5.88

Satin                     1.50

Lace                     3.29

Tulle                     2.25

Cost of one yard of satin ribbon → $1.50.

Then, the cost of 5.5 yards of satin ribbon [A1] → 5.5 x 1.50 = $8.25.

Cost of one yard of tulle ribbon → $2.25.

Then, the cost of 3.8 yards of tulle ribbon [A2] → 3.8 x 2.25 = $8.55.

Total cost of both the Ribbons → A1 + A2 = 8.25 + 8.55 = $16.8.

Money paid by Chloe → $20

Change received by Chloe → 20 - 16.8 = $3.2

(ii) f(x) is differentiable on (a,b).

(iii) There exist a point c in (a,b) such that f'(c)=f(b)-f(a)/(b-a).

In the given question

Speed Limit = 60 mph

Time of entrance on toll road = 6:00

Time of exit from toll road = 7:00

Total time on toll road  = 1 hr

Mile marker on entry in toll road = 15 mile

Mile marker on exit from toll road = 100 mile

Total distance travelled on toll road = 100-15= 85 miles

[tex]Average.Speed=\frac{total . distance}{total.time}[/tex]

Substituting the values we get .

Avg Speed = 85/1 = 85  mph

Overspeed = Avg Speed - Speed Limit

=85-60

=25 mph

The teacher over speed by 25 mph.

Since 85 mph is the average speed , it means that for some instance he was travelling below the average speed and for some instance he was travelling above the average speed.  

By Mean value Theorem , it is clear that there have been at least one point where the teacher was travelling above 85 mph , which means he was over speeding .

What is a slope?

A slope is also referred to as gradient and it's typically used to describe both the ratio, direction and steepness of the function of a straight line.

How to calculate the slope of a line?

Mathematically, the slope of any straight line can be calculated by using this formula;

[tex]Slope = \frac{Change\;in\;y\;axis}{Change\;in\;x\;axis}\\\\Slope = \frac{y_2\;-\;y_1}{x_2\;-\;x_1}[/tex]

Substituting the given points into the formula, we have;

Slope, m = (-1 - 5)/2 + 3)

Slope, m = -6/5

Mathematically, the standard form of the equation of a straight line is given by;

y = mx + c

Where:

x and y are the points.m represents the slope.c represents the intercept.

At point (2, -1), we have:

-1 = -6/5(2) + c

-1 = -12/5 + c

c = 12/5 - 1

c = 7/5

In conclusion, we can reasonably and logically deduce that the slope-intercept form of the equation of the line described is y = -6x/5 + 7/5.

As per the known fact, the relation between concentration and volume of solution is -

[tex] C_{1} V_{1} + C_{2} V_{2} = C_{final}V_{final}[/tex]

Let the [tex] V_{2}[/tex] be x. So, final volume will be (18 + x).

Keep the values in formula to find the value of volume of solution required for dilution -

8%×18 + 4.5%×x = 6%×(18 + x)

Rewriting the equation -

0.08×18 + 0.045×x = 0.06(18 + x)

Performing multiplication to find the value of x -

1.44 + 0.045x = 1.08 + 0.06x

Rewriting the equation -

1.44 - 1.08 = 0.06x - 0.045x

Performing subtraction on both sides of the equation -

0.37 = 0.015x

Shifting 0.015 to other side fo equation and performing division

x = 0.37 ÷ 0.015

The length of a rectangle is 4 inches greater than twice the width. If the diagonal is 2 inches more than the length, find the dimensions of the rectangle.

Answers

Answer:

The dimensions are 10 inches and 24 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the quadrilateral is a rectangle, the diagonal divides the rectangle into two right triangles. That means we can use the Pythagorean Theorem, which applies only to right triangles.

On the bottom left triangle, the sides forming the right angle are the legs. They measure x and 2x + 4. The are a and b in the Pythagorean Theorem equation. The side of the triangle measuring 2x + 6 is the hypotenuse of the right triangle, the side opposite the right angle and the longest side in a right triangle. The hypotenuse is c in the Pythagorean Theorem equation.

Start with the equation of the Pythagorean theorem.

[tex] a^2 + b^2 = c^2 [/tex]

Now substitute the values we have for a, b, and c.

[tex] (x)^2 + (2x + 4)^2 = (2x + 6)^2 [/tex]

Square the two binomials. You an use the pattern:

[tex] (a + b)^2 = a^2 + 2ab + b^2 [/tex]

which I will use, or you can use FOIL and collect like terms.

[tex] x^2 + 4x^2 + 16x + 16 = 4x^2 + 24x + 36 [/tex]

Collect like terms, and move all terms to the left side equaling zero.

[tex] 5x^2 + 16x + 16 = 4x^2 + 24x + 36 [/tex]

[tex] x^2 - 8x - 20 = 0 [/tex]

Try to factor the left side. We need two numbers whose product is -20 and whose sum is -8. -10 and 2 work.

[tex] (x - 10)(x + 2) = 0 [/tex]

Set each factor equal to zero, and solve for x.

x - 10 = 0  or  x + 2 = 0

x = 10  or  x = -2

Since one side of the rectangle measures x, x = -2 cannot be a solution since you cannot have a negative side length.

x = 10 is acceptable.

2x + 4 = 2(10) + 4 = 24
