Solving Absolute Value Equations  Seismologists use the Richter scale to express the  Magnitudes of earthquakes.  This scale ranges from 1 to  10, 10 being the highest.
Solving Absolute Value Equations  Seismologists use the Richter scale to express the  Magnitudes of earthquakes.  This scale ranges from 1 to  10, 10 being the highest. The uncertainty in the estimate of a magnitude E is about Plus or minus 0.3 unit.
Solving Absolute Value Equations  Seismologists use the Richter scale to express the  Magnitudes of earthquakes.  This scale ranges from 1 to  10, 10 being the highest. The uncertainty in the estimate of a magnitude E is about Plus or minus 0.3 unit. This means that an earthquake with a magnitude estimated at 6.1 might actually have a magnitude as low as 5.8 or as high as 6.4.
