A local government is planning to build new roads that will divide a forest into several fragments. The roads can follow several

different designs, each of which will result in fragments of different sizes. Which design will probably produce the most pronounced edge effects on the organisms living in the forest?
Three rectangular fragments, each of which is 2 miles wide and 20 miles long
Three rectangular fragments, each of which is 4 miles wide and 10 miles long
Three rectangular fragments, each of which is 5 miles wide and 8 miles long
Four rectangular fragments, each of which is 3 miles wide and 10 miles long
Four rectangular fragments, each of which is 5 miles wide and 6 miles long

Answer: <u>Design 1 </u> - Three rectangular fragments, each of which is 2 miles wide and 20 miles long

Explanation:

Perimeter of rectangular = 2 (Length + Width)

P = 2 (L + W)

<u>Design 1 </u>

P = 2 (20 + 2) = 44 miles

P = 44 miles

Three rectangular fragments = 3 * 44 = 132 miles

<u>Design 2 </u>

P = 2 (10 + 4) = 28 miles

P = 28 miles

Three rectangular fragments = 3 * 28 = 84 miles

<u>Design 3 </u>

P = 2 (8 + 5) = 26 miles

P = 26 miles

Three rectangular fragments = 3 * 26 = 78 miles

<u>Design 4 </u>

P = 2 (10 + 3) = 26 miles

P = 26 miles

Four rectangular fragments = 4 * 26 = 104 miles

<u>Design 5 </u>

P = 2 (6 + 5) = 22 miles

P = 22 miles

Four rectangular fragments = 4 * 22 = 88 miles

Edge effects is a term in ecology use to refer to changes in the community structures that occur at the boundary of two or more habitats & could lead to greater biodiversity

Based on this, the design that will probably produce the most pronounced edge effects on the organisms living in the forest is <u>Design 1 </u>

Answer:

<u>D. </u>\frac{2}{3}

Explanation:

<em>Remember,</em><em> in a</em> limit function<em> </em><em>any number greater than zero the limit to infinity is infinity, and for numbers lesser than zero the limit is zero.</em>

<em>P (X) = </em>2^{x} + x^{3}<em />

<em>Q (X) =  </em>x^{2} + 3^{x}<em />

Rearranging the equation q (x) we have q (x) = 3^{x} + x^{2}

If enough experimental data supports a hypothesis, then it:
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer: C) Is accepted as true until proven false

==========================================================

Explanation:

We cannot prove the hypothesis to be 100% true because there might be data out there that we haven't accounted for, or some scenario that we haven't thought of yet. There's always going to be room for uncertainty and doubt. Keep in mind that such doubt does not necessarily mean that the theory is automatically false.

So all of this rules out choice A.

Choice B is ruled out as well because data supporting a hypothesis doesn't falsify the hypothesis. The term "falsify" means "to prove false" as you'd expect.

Choice C is the answer because the data seems to support the hypothesis and again we leave room for error. It's quite possible that in some unspecified date in the future, there are better methods of measurement to get a better sense of what's going on.

Choice D is ruled out because a law refers to something like the law of gravity. It's something you observe but it doesn't explain why something works. It doesn't provide the underlying mechanics of what's going on. We simply just report what we see which is exactly what an observation is.
