Given:

O, P, and Q be distinct collinear points with PQ=3.

P′ and Q′ be the images of points P and Q under dilation from point O with scale factor 4.

To find:

The length of the image segment P'Q'.

Solution:

We know that,

\text{Scale factor}=\dfrac{\text{Side length of image}}{\text{Corresponding side of original figure}}

P′ and Q′ be the images of points P and Q under dilation from point O with scale factor 4. So, Segment P'Q' is the image of segment PQ and the scale factor is 4.

4=\dfrac{P'Q'}{PQ}

It is given that PQ=3.

4=\dfrac{P'Q'}{3}

Multiply both sides by 3.

4\times 3=P'Q'

12=P'Q'

Therefore, the length of the image segment P'Q' is 12 units.

Answer: The name of the biome is Tundra.

Explanation:

Tundra is the coldest of all the biomes. Tundra comes from the Finnish word tunturi, meaning treeless plain. It is noted for its frost-molded landscapes, extremely low temperatures, little precipitation, poor nutrients, and short growing seasons. Dead organic material functions as a nutrient pool. The two major nutrients are nitrogen and phosphorus. Nitrogen is created by biological fixation, and phosphorus is created by precipitation.

Characteristics of tundra include:

Extremely cold climate

Low biotic diversity

Simple vegetation structure

Limitation of drainage

Short season of growth and reproduction

Energy and nutrients in the form of dead organic material

Large population oscillations.

Definition of Term:

Biome -

What is a biome? Biomes are very large ecological areas on the earth's surface, with fauna and flora (animals and plants) adapting to their environment. Biomes are often defined by abiotic factors such as temperature, climate, relief, geology, soils and vegetation.
