Answer:

The correct answer will be option D.

Explanation:

Planets orbit around the Sun (star) due to the gravity of this star which pulls down them around it. This gravity is the vital force which maintains the elliptical path of their orbit.

If this force of gravity will change it will affect the celestial bodies revolving around it like a planet as this force of gravity is directly proportional to mass and inversely proportional to the distance between them.

According to the question if the gravity of the star increases it will change the orbital path of the planets as they will be more pulled towards the sun which will decrease the distance between the star and planet and the orbital path will become smaller and the orbital period will increase.

Thus, option D is the correct answer.

FrozenT [24]

Domain of a function is the type of parameters it takes as input. The domain of a sine function is angle in either degrees or radians. The function that represents the population growth of the bacteria that is tripling every minute is given by the mathematical expression,

x_{t} = x_{0} \times 3^{t},

where, t is time in minutes, x_{0} is the initial population size, and x_{t} is the population at time, t.

The domain of this function will be time, t.
