The Richter scale is used for measuring the magnitude of an earthquake. The Richter magnitude is given R = 0.67log(0.37E) + 1.46 where E is the energy (in kilowatt hours) released by the earthquake. If an earthquake release 15,500,000,000 kilowatt hours of energy, what is the earthquake's magnitude?

7.9982

Step-by-step explanation:

-The function for an earthquake's magnitude is given by  R = 0.67log(0.37E) + 1.46

-E is energy in kwh.

#For 15,500,000,000 kilowatt hours the magnitude would be:

Hence, the earthquakes magnitude is 7.9982

it would be 6xy and -16xy.

5=812a+9+3

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

5=812a+9+3

5=(812a)+(9+3)(combine like terms)

5=812a+12

5=812a+12

step 2: flip the equation.

812a+12=5

step 3: subtract 12 from both sides.

812a+12−12=5−12

812a=−7

step 4: divide both sides by 812.

812a /812 = -7/812

a= -1/116

so the answer is

a=   -1/116
