Question

Use the formula $R = \log\left(\frac{I}{I_0}\right)+$ In May 2008, an earthquake measuring 6.8 on the Richter scale struck near the east coast of Honshu, Japan. In March 2011, a quake measuring 9.0 struck that same region. How many times more intense was the 2011 quake than the one in 2008? (Round your answer to one decimal place.) times

Step 1

For the 2008 quake: R_2008 = log((I_2008)/(I_(0))) For the 2011 quake: R_2011 = log((I_2011)/(I_(0))) Show more…
