The magnitude, M, of an earthquake is defined to be M= log 1/swhere I is the intensity of the earthquake (measured by the amplitude of the seismograph wave) and S is the intensity of a "standard" earthquake, which is barely detectable. What is the
magnitude of an earthquake that is 35 times more intense than a standard earthquake? Use a calculator. Round your answer to
the nearest tenth.

no this is a nonlinear negative

the correct option is:

b. a value of the variable that makes the polynomial equal to zero.

the root or roots of a polynomial are the values of the variable that makes the polynomial equal to 0. we can find the roots of a polynomial making the expression equal to 0 and then, isolating the variable (it it has just one variable).

for example, given the following polynomial:

the root or zero of the polynomial, can be found by making the expression equal to 0, and then, isolating the variable, so, finding the root we have:

therefore, we have that the root of the polynomial is equal to 2.

we must remember that the number of roots that a polynomial can have, will depend on the degree of the polynomial, a first degree polynomial have will have one single root, a second degree polynomial (quadratic expression) may have two roots and so.

hence the correct option is:

b. a value of the variable that makes the polynomial equal to zero.

have a nice day!
