The intensity of the earthquake is an illustration of functions
The function is given as:
[tex]M=0.67 \log(0.37E)+1.46[/tex]
When the earthquake releases 10,500,000,000, we have:
[tex]M=0.67 \log(0.37*10500000000)+1.46[/tex]
Evaluate
[tex]M=7.8848919855[/tex]
Approximate
[tex]M=7.88[/tex]
Hence, the earthquake's magnitude is 7.88
Also, we have:
Earthquake 1 = 6.2
Earthquake 2 = 5.3
Calculate the difference (d)
[tex]d = 6.2-5.3[/tex]
[tex]d = 0.9[/tex]
Hence, the earthquake is 0.9 times more than the earthquake that measured 5.3
