To determine how many times more energy was released by the earthquake in Mexico compared to the earthquake in Afghanistan, we can use the Richter Scale Measure.
The Richter Scale uses a logarithmic scale, where each whole number increase corresponds to an energy release that is about 31.6 times greater.
The difference in Richter Scale measures between the earthquakes in Mexico and Afghanistan is 7.6 - 6.9 = 0.7.
Therefore, the earthquake in Mexico released about 31.6^(0.7) times more energy than the earthquake in Afghanistan, which is approximately 5.01 times.
The correct answer is about 5.01 times as much energy.

Graph AThe x-axis goes from negative 5 to 5 and the y-axis goes from negative 5 to 5. For values of x less than negative 2, the function is approximately horizontal with y-values close to 0. For values of x greater than negative 2, the function curves steeply upward and towards the right The graph passes through the point left-parenthesis 0 comma 1 right-parenthesis.

The correct graph is Graph C. The x-axis goes from negative 10 to 10, and the y-axis goes from negative 5 to 5. As x approaches 0 from the right, y approaches negative infinity. For values of x greater than 0, the function curves slightly downward, and y-values increase as x-values increase. The graph passes through the point (1,0).

An initial population of 745 quail increases at an annual rate of 16%. Write an exponential function to model the quail population. What will the approximate population be after 4 years?
To write an exponential function to model the quail population, we can use the formula:
P(t) = P0 * (1 + r)^t
where P(t) is the population at time t, P0 is the initial population, r is the annual growth rate, and t is the number of years.
Given that the initial population is 745 quail and the annual growth rate is 16% (or 0.16 as a decimal), the exponential function is:
P(t) = 745 * (1 + 0.16)^t
To find the approximate population after 4 years, substitute t = 4 into the exponential function:
P(4) = 745 * (1 + 0.16)^4
Calculating this expression will give us the approximate population after 4 years.
