8) Seismologists use the Richter scale to express the energy, or magnitude, of an earthquake. The Richter magnitude of an earthquake, M, is related to the energy released ergs E shown by the formula

In 1964, an earthquake centered at Prince William Sound, Alaska, registered a magnitude of 9.2 on the Richter scale. Find the energy released by the earthquake.

11) Al Jebra is planning to invest for retirement. He has 2 options. The first one is 3.2 % compounded monthly. The second one is compounded annually at 4%. He has $20000.00 to invest and wants to end with $100000.00. Assuming that he will invest in the better plan (the one that gets to $100000. 00 sooner), when will he meet his goal?

16) Four-legged animals run with two different types of motion: trotting and galloping. An animal that is trotting has at least one foot on the ground at all times. An animal that is galloping has all four feet off the ground at times. The number S of strides per minute at which an animal breaks from a trot to a gallop is related to the animal’s weight w (in pounds) by the modelS = 256.2 – 47.9 log w. Approximate the weight when it breaks from a trot to a gallop with 115 strides per minute.
