8. [6 marks] An aftershock measuring 5.5 on the Richter scale occurred south of Christchurch, New Zealand in June 2011. An earthquake with a Richter scale M that is T times more intense than an earthquake with a Richter scale 5.5 an be modeled by the following function: Mm = logm + 5. 5. Remember, for every unit of increase on the Richter scale, the intensity of an earthquake increases by 10 folds. a. Graph the function Mm = toga) + 5.5 and determine how much more intense an earthquake measuring 7.7 that occurred on Queen Charlotte Islands in October 2012 was than the aftershock in New Zealand. 1 mark Show our 3 = h here: [1 mark] Calculation: b. [2 marks] Determine the value of the function at T = 3 algebraically. Explain the answer in the context of this question. c. [2 marks] How many times as intense would an earthquake measuring 8.5 on the Richter scale be then One measuring 5.5? Show your calculation and express your answer as a power with base 10
