Simplify: i) (a + b)(5a – 3b) + (a – 3b)(a – b) ii) (a – b) (a2 + b2 + ab) – (a + b) (a2 + b2 – ab) iii) (b2 – 49) (b + 7) + 343

The magnitude, m, of an earthquake is defined to be m=log l/s, where 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 1,000 times more intense than a standard earthquake? use a calculator. round your answer to the nearest tenth.
