Answer:

h(x)=0.5x+15.

Explanation:

Given that the first differences remain constant, this function is linear. Thus, we can use y=mx+b.

'b' in this case is 15 inches, as that is the original height of the plant.

The slope (m) would be 0.5, such that time is the independent variable and height is the dependent variable (which should always be the case).

Using this information, we can create a function to model height:

h(x)=0.5x+15, where x represents each week.

Hope this helps!

Your roommate, who has not studied climate, says, "I thought the greenhouse effect was a bad thing. Isn't it what's causing glob
Masja [62]

Answer:

b) and c)

Explanation:

Greenhouse gases are gases found in the atmosphere that absorb infrared radiation and trap the sun’s heat, thereby producing an effect known as <em>greenhouse effect.</em> By this natural way, the earth is able to be kept warm at an optimal temperature, to make it habitable for humans and other organisms. These gases referred to as <em>greenhouse gases</em> include, carbon dioxide, methane, water vapour and other trace gases found in the atmosphere.  Greenhouse gases could be likened to the glass in a greenhouse that helps in trapping heat to keep the greenhouse warm at optimal temperature necessary for plant growth and development.

Without this natural greenhouse effect caused by greenhouse gases, life on earth would be almost impossible as the earth would almost be covered with ice below 0 degrees Fahrenheit.

The increased level of greenhouse gases we now find in the earth’s atmosphere is responsible for the additional warming of the earth’s surface, causing an enhanced greenhouse effect which results in global warming.

Statement a) cannot be used as an explanation because it is false. Greenhouse effect makes the earth habitable.

Statement d) cannot be used as an explanation because carbon dioxide is not the only greenhouse gas that matters. Water vapour, CFC and methane also have impacts.

<em>Statement b) and c) are the best statements to use in explaining the true nature of greenhouse effect. </em>

Why is it important that scientists haven’t identified a Lokiarchaeota cell yet?
WARRIOR [948]
It's important because we need the scientists to discover where it is. The Lokiarchaeota is a main cause for infections, and diseases, and if we identify it, and study it, we may know how to cure certain diseases, and how to prevent them.
