1. The Richter scale is used to measure the magnitude of an earthquake. The magnitude, R, is given by the equation: R=0.65log(0.39)E +1.45, where E is the energy (measured in kilowatt-hours) released by the earthquake. Determine the amount of energy released by an earthquake of magnitude 7.5.

2. Use synthetic division to find the quotient and the remainder.
(12x^4+5x^3+3x^2-5) ÷ (x+1)
