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!

How would a tsunami most likely affect the abundance of aquatic organisms in the intertidal zone of the ocean?
AlexFokin [52]

Answer: C). A tsunami would decrease abundance by causing physical damage to the organisms and their ecosystems.

An intertidal zone is also known as littoral zone. It is the region which is covers the foreshore and seabed. This region is exposed to the affects of tides. This region is highly vulnerable to tsunamis. The tsunami will disturb the habitat of organisms living in intertidal zone. Therefore, will result in decrease in abundance of aquatic organisms.

A group of scientists studying vegetation in a mountain range observe that a certain flowering plant grows taller at lower eleva
UkoKoshka [18]

      Well, first of all, the question asks us to to list three different factors that could lead to this variation.

       The first one is pressure, so, what happens is that, when the pressure changes with the height change, these plants develop in different ways. The second one is the oxygen, as we know, oxygen in higher elevations is less than in ocean elevation for example, so this can be a reason for this variation. The last one is the quantity of organic material on the soil, this can influence directly on the development of this population.

        With that said, we need to write a hypothesis for one of these factors, let's choose the organic material because it's easier and cheaper to test. For that, the hypothesis is that, with less organic material available on the ground, the plant will grow smaller than on a normal soil. To test that, we need to grab samples of this flowering plant and put it at the same conditions as on the mountain, that is a possibility on a good lab, so after that, we'll change the quantity of organic material on some samples, to check if my hypothesis is right or not.

        The positive results are that this is the reason why the plants grow smaller, so, with less organic material, the plants won't develop in the same way as it would happen with enough organic material. The negative results are that this is not the reason why these variations exist, so we need to test another factor to check why this variation is happening.
