In 2011, Japan experienced an intense earthquake with a magnitude of 9.1 on the Richter scale. In 2003, Japan experienced another intense earthquake that measured 8.3 on the Richter scale. Compare the intensities of the two earthquakes. Use a logarithmic model to solve. Round to the nearest whole number.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The intensity of the 2011 earthquake was about 6 times the intensity of the 2003 earthquake.

Step-by-step explanation:

To compare the intensities, we first need to convert the magnitudes to intensities using the log formula. Then we will set up a ratio to compare the intensities.

Convert the magnitudes to intensities and write them in exponential form.

R=logI

2011 earthquake:

9.1I=logI=109.1

2003 earthquake:

8.3I=logI=108.3

Form a ratio of the intensities.

intensity for 2011intensity for 2003

Substitute in the values and divide by subtracting the exponents to find

109.1108.3100.8≈6.

The intensity of the 2011 earthquake was about 6 times the intensity of the 2003 earthquake.

Your answer:

The intensity of the 2011 earthquake was about 15 times the intensity of the 2003 earthquake.

Answer 2

The intensities of the two earthquakes will be 6.3095.

What is Algebra?

Algebra is the study of abstract symbols, while logic is the manipulation of all those ideas.

In 2011, Japan encountered a serious quake with an extent of 9.1 on the Richter scale. In 2003, Japan encountered another extraordinary seismic tremor that deliberate 8.3 on the Richter scale.

The intensity of the earthquake is given as,

㏒ (I₁ / I₂) = M₁ - M₂

㏒ (I₁ / I₂) = 9.1 - 8.3

Simplify the equation, then we have

㏒ (I₁ / I₂) = 9.1 - 8.3

㏒ (I₁ / I₂) = 0.8

Take anti log, then we have

(I₁ / I₂) = 6.3095

The intensities of the two earthquakes will be 6.3095.

Slope: m=1/5

Write your answer as an equation in the form

Answers

Answer:

y=1/5x-4

Step-by-step explanation:

So, first we're gonna put this into point slope form, (y-y1)=m(x-x1), then we'll convert it. When you plug the numbers in, you get (y+9)=1/5(x+25)

Then, you simplify!

y= 1/5(x+25)-9

y=1/5x+5-9

y=1/5x-4

The length of the sides of Δ QRS are QR = 104, QS = 468, RS = 76

Step-by-step explanation:

In ΔRQS

∵ M is the mid-point of side RQ

→ That means M divide RQ into 2 equal parts RM and MQ

RM = MQ

∵ RM = 4x

∵ MQ = 52

→ Equate them

4x = 52

→ Divide both sides by 4 to get x

x = 13

∵ P is the mid-point of side QS

→ That means P divide QS into 2 equal parts QP and PS

QP = PS

∵ QP = 9y

∵ PS = 234

→ Equate them

9y = 234

→ Divide both sides by 9 to get y

y = 26

→ Find the length of each side

∵ RQ = 52 + 52

RQ = 104

∵ QS = 234 + 234

QS = 468

∵ RS = 38 + 38

RS = 76

∴ The length of the sides of Δ QRS are QR = 104, QS = 468, RS = 76

Note: PS = 234 is wrong because it made the length of the sides QS = 468, which could not be because the sum of any 2 sides of a triangle must be greater than the 3rd side. So check it.

A ratio of 3 erasers and 6 pencils could be expressed as 3:6. If the number of erasers is represented by white circles and the number of pencils is represented by black circles, which is a correct representation of the ratio?

Answers

Answer:

It'd be C.

There are 3 erasers shown and 6 pencils and to simplify the given ratio it would be 1:2

So the third representation would be the one that made the most sense.

Answer:

Option 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratios can be written as fractions, so 3:6=3/6. That can be simplified to 1/2, 1:2. That mesns for every eraser, there are two pencils. If white circles are erasers and black circles pencils, the correct answer will be the answer with one white circle and two black circle in each group. So the correct answer will be the third one.

Find the degree measure of the angle with the given radian measure. (Round your answer to one decimal place.)

Answers

Answer:

108 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are not given the radian measure. Let the radian measure be 3π/5 rad;

Using the conversion;

πrad = 180°

3π/5 rad = x

Cross mulriply;

π * x = 180 * 3π/5

x =  180 * 3/5

x = 36 * 3

x = 108 degrees

Hence the degree measure is 108 degrees

Note that the same conversion can be used to convert other values in radians

A pond contains 110 fish, of which 20 are carp. If 10 fish are caught from the lake, what are the mean and variance of the number of carp among those 10?

Answers

Answer:

Mean = 1.82

Variance = 1.365

Step-by-step explanation:

We define X as the random variable that counts the number of the carp fishes that has been caught. Also we assume that all the fishes are equally likely to be caught. In that case we have that X as hypergeometric distribution.

The of the Hypergeometric Distribution and Its variance is given below.

Mean of the distribution = [tex]n*\frac{k}{N}[/tex]

Variance = [tex]\frac{n*k*(N-k)(N-n)}{N^2(N-1)}[/tex]

N= 110

k = 20

n = 10

Upon calculation we get

Mean = [tex]10*\frac{20}{110}[/tex]

          = 1.82

Variance = [tex]\frac{10*20*(110-20)(110-10)}{110*110*(110-1)}[/tex] = 2*90*100/11*11*109 = 1.365

Therefore the mean is 1.82 and variance is 1.365

The mean and the variance of the number of carp are 20/11 and 180/121, respectively

The given parameters are:

Fishes = 110

Carp = 20

The probability of selecting a carp is:

p = 20/110

Simplify

p = 2/11

In a selection of 10 fishes, we have:

n = 10

The mean is:

E(x) = np

This gives

E(x) = 10 * 2/11

E(x) = 20/11

The variance is

Var(x) = E(x) * (1 - p)

So, we have:

Var(x) = 20/11 * (1 - 2/11)

Simplify

Var(x) = 20/11 * 9/11

Evaluate the product

Var(x) = 180/121

Hence, the mean and the variance of the number of carp are 20/11 and 180/121, respectively
