The Richter scale converts seismographic readings into numbers for measuring the magnitude of an earthquake according to this function M(x) = log 
, where xo = 10-3.Two earthquakes differ by 0.1 when measured on the Richter scale. How would the seismographic readings differ at a distance of 100 kilometers from the epicenter?
What will be an ideal response?
The earthquake of greater magnitude has a seismographic reading that is 
times that of the lesser earthquake.
