The magnitude M of an earthquake is measured using the formula M=log(xc), where x is the measured amplitude of a seismic wave and c is the reference amplitude of one micron. Two earthquakes are measured. The amplitude of a seismic wave in the first earthquake is 15 times the amplitude of a seismic wave in the second earthquake. How much greater is the magnitude of the first earthquake than the second earthquake? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.

step-by-step explanation:

, and

for

step-by-step explanation:

we can analyze the pattern at which the terms increase. let us denote , , , so that we can call

note the following:

the pattern: to get the next term value, we just add the next term number (e.g. 1st, 2nd, to the previous term value (term values are the given numbers in the question, 1, 3, 6, 10, 15,

from , to get to , we add

from , to get to , we add

etc.

we need to form a recursive formula, a formula that has the next term as a function of the previous term. so a possible recursive formula can be

, and for

c. side angle side. u shares the same sides

48 / 6 = x

in this case, x will equal the amount of money in each card!

x therefore will be 8.
