75. EARTHQUAKES  The Richter scale measures the intensity of an earthquake. The magnitude M of the seismic

energy in joules E released by an earthquake can be calculated by .

a. Use the properties of logarithms to expand the equation.

b. What magnitude would an earthquake releasing 7.94 × 1011

joules have?

c. The 2007 Alum Rock earthquake in California released 4.47 × 1012 joules of energy. The 1964 Anchorage

earthquake in Alaska measured a magnitude of 1.58 × 1018

joules of energy. How many times as great was the magnitude of the Anchorage earthquake as the magnitude of the Alum Rock earthquake? d. Generally, earthquakes cannot be felt until they reach a magnitude of 3 on the Richter scale. How many joules of energy does an earthquake of this magnitude release?

SOLUTION:  

81.  ln x +  ln (y + 8) – 3 ln y – ln (10 – x)

SOLUTION:  

Use the properties of logarithms to rewrite each logarithm below in the form a ln 2 + b ln 3, where a and b are constants. Then approximate the value of each logarithm given that ln 2 ≈ 0.69 and ln 3 ≈ 1.10.

SOLUTION:  

Determine the graph that corresponds to each equation.

90. f (x) = ln x + ln (x + 3)

SOLUTION:  

Make a table of values.

This table resembles the graphs for a, c, and d. However, the origin is a point on the graph of d. f (x) is undefined forx = 1 or x = 2 in graph c. The correct choice is a.
