A) 8.2 B)13.8 C) 9.2 D) 9.5 Please show all your steps for extrapoints!!!!
Explanation / Answer
M =2/3 log E/ 10^11.8 where E = 10^25.6 So plug in for E.... M= 2/3 log(10^25.6/10^11.8) M= 2/3 log(10^13.8) The log of 10 raised to a power (in this case 13.8) is the poweritself. M= 2/3 (13.8) = 9.2 OR ANSWER C Please Rate
