Answer:

The answer is the 2nd picture: the coccyx bone in humans.

Explanation:

Vestigial Structure:

Structures or anatomical features that do not currently serve a function is the bodily processes of a living organism. Vestiges are believed to have performed active functions in the organism's ancestors throughout its evolutionary history.

Coccyx Bone:

The coccyx or tailbone is an evolutionary remnant of our tree dwelling ancestors. Coccyx has no use in modern humans as we do not need to climb trees.

The coccyx in modern humans serves as an anchor for muscles.

Choose the equation that represents an exponential function that passes through the point (2, 36).

Alla [95]

Since we were given only one point, we have to test each exponential function for the point $(2,36).$

Since exponential functions are of the form $y=n(a)^{kx}$ , The correct option is between option A and option C.

For option A,

$f(x)=4(3)^{x}$

On substitution, we have;

$36=4(3)^{2}$

$\Rightarrow 36=4\times 9$

$\Rightarrow 36=36$ .

Since the point satisfied the exponential function $f(x)=4(3)^{x}$ , the exponential function goes through it.

Hence the correct answer is option A.

No need to test for option C again.
