Math Question

The magnitude, \( M \), of an earthquake is defined to be \( M=\log \frac{I}{S} \), where \( / \) 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. \( -1.5 \) \( -0.5 \) 1.5 \( 3.6 \)
