(a) Calculate the magnitude of an earthquake if its intensity is 1000 times the intensity of the smallest earthquake that can be measured. [1] (b) In February 2011, an earthquake with magnitude 6.2 was recorded in Christchurch, New Zealand. Few weeks later, an earthquake with magnitude 9.0 was detected in Fukushima, Japan. How many times stronger in intensity was the Japan’s earthquake as compared to the New Zealand’s earthquake? Give your answer to 2 decimal places.

[2] There are 4 roots to the equation ( )tan 3 4cot 2 3xx −= for 0 360x from (b). Since the period of ( )tan 3 4cot2 x x− is doubled of ( )tan 3 4cot 2xx − , there will be 4/2 = 2 roots to the equation for 0 360x . [B1] For 360 720x− , the graph of ( )tan 3 4cot2 x x− would have repeated 3 cycles, thereby giving 3 x 2 = 6 roots to the equation. [B1] OR ( )tan 3 4cot 32 x x−= , 360 720x− Let 2 xy= , then ( )tan 3 4cot 2 3yy −= , 180 360y− y has 4 solutions in the domain 0 360y , 1 from each quadrant, from (b). [B1] Therefore, for the domain 180 360y− , the graph would have entered another half a cycle, giving rise to 2 additional roots. [B1] Therefore, there will be 6 solutions for y in the given domain, and thus, 6 roots to the equation.
