Before communism, Russia was a monarchy, an autocratic regime lead by a Tsar. This regime ended in the year of 1917 with the February Revolution of 1917
This Revolution was originated as a reaction to the Tsar policies, and because under his rule, the participation of Russia in the World War I left the country in bad conditions. It began as an spontaneous popular demonstration due to poor living conditions. Soon, the military, socialists and liberals joined the revolution. The goal was to overthrow the King and stablished a democratic regime.
However, the differences between the new leaders triggered inestability, which led to the October Revolution of 1917 which ended with the bolshevik victory. By the end of the October Revolution, Soviet Russia was stablished and the Russian Civil War iniciated in order to hold the power by the bolsheviks. The change can be considered as gradually since it took 2 revolutions and a civil war to maintain, but also it was not the result of a policy evolution or minor reforms, but violent imposition.
The opposition to federalism had several axes, such as opposition to the constitution, since it was thought that the strong power of the national government could mean a threat to the sovereignty of states, localities and individuals, which could be interpreted as an attempt to disguise a "monarchical" power. Some antifederalists thought that the articles of the confederation gave quite enough power to the central government, while others considered that, although the national government with the articles wasn't that strong, with the Constitution it would be too powerful.
Answer:
Linear: you start with $3 and save $1 each month
Quadratic: Your total savings is 3 times the number of months multiplied by itself.
Exponential: You save $3 the first month then each month the amount triples
Explanation:
Linear: you start with $3 and save $1 each month
As you see in the equation, it's a simple equation and you start with $3 then it increases $1 per month. You can see on the graph it's a straight line.
Quadratic: Your total savings is 3 times the number of months multiplied by itself.
The answer for this one is more obvious if you look at the equation... 3 times the number months (x) multiplied by itself (so x²)
Exponential: You save $3 the first month then each month the amount triples
For the amount to triple every month, it has to be multiplied by 3 (like 3x) or used a an exponent of the number 3, like in this case.
