Given the function f(x) = 3x + 1, evaluate f(a + 1). a. 3a + 1 b. a + 2 c. 3a + 4

The magnitude, m, of an earthquake is defined to be m=log l/s, where i is the intensity of the earthquake (measured by the amplitude of the seismograph wave) and s is the intensity of a “standard” earthquake, which is barely detectable. what is the magnitude of an earthquake that is 1,000 times more intense than a standard earthquake? use a calculator. round your answer to the nearest tenth.

Evaluate the expression. (9 + 5)(3 + 2)0
