Real-World Applications

  1. The intensity levels of two earthquakes measured on a      seismograph can be compared by the formula where M is the magnitude given by the Richter Scale. On April 7th,      2018, an earthquake of magnitude 4.6 hit near Perry OK, USA. On the same      day an earthquake of magnitude 6.3 hit near Porgera Papua New Guinea. How      many times greater was the intensity of the Papua New Guinea earthquake      than the OK earthquake? Round to the nearest whole number. NOTE: Remember      that the value of a log is an exponent. So represents the exponent for the      base of the common log.
