'Energy' and 'power' are often confused, but aren't the same. Why do we say 'power plants' instead of energy plants'?

Answer:Both are important capabilities of a generator to keep the lights on.

Explanation:Power plants do provide both energy and power. Both are important capabilities of a generator to keep the lights on. And, in fact, power plants are rated, not by how much energy they produce, but by how much power they can produce, because if the grid does not have enough power generation capacity, it won’t work. It is arguably the more important parameter to specify in an electrical generation facility.

So, you could probably call them either power or energy plants. I do not know the history of why we chose to use power.

ella [17]

Answer: D [-1,1]

g^{-1} is the inverse of function g(x).

the inverse equation of g(x) = sin(x):

sin(y) = x

y = sin^{-1}(x)

using a trig circle with radius 1, we can find out that the max values of sin(x) are 1 and -1, so the domain of the inverse of sin(x) must be [-1,1]

**Note: if allowed during AP test, test from school. or assignment, you can use your graphing calculator to graph sin^{-1}(x)

Triangle ABC and Triangle XYZ are similar. If angle A=30 and angle B=45, what can you conclude?
Tasya [4]

The given angles sum to less than 90°, so the remaining angle must be more than 90°. (The total of all angles is 180°.) Triangle ABC has an angle greater than 90°, so is obtuse. Since the triangles are similar, their corresponding angles are congruent. Hence ...

.. D. Triangle XYZ is obtuse.

Explain ONE reason that people may desire to migrate away from metropolitan areas
Illusion [34]

Answer:

One reason that people may desire to migrate away from metropolitan areas is an overcrowding population.

Explanation:

While living in a metropolitan area has many benefits (career and education opportunities for example) most people end up leaving because the busy atmosphere isn't for them. Whether there is a lack of sanitation from overcrowding, noise at all hours of the night, or the size of the population isn't desirable.

I'm also going to assume this is for AP Human Geography, a test I took a few years ago and passed :)
