Answer:
Choice B: Carbon would not be recycled and added to soil, interrupting the cycle.
Step-by-step explanation:
Without the help of decomposers, the ones who break the dead organisms down, the carbon would be locked inside the dead organism. Then carbon wouldn't be able to get recycled through the air. The only way it could be released would be through combustion.
Answer:
x = a/(a² + b²) or x = -1/a
Step-by-step explanation:
a(a²+ b²)x² + b²x - a =0
Use the quadratic equation formula:

1. Evaluate the discriminant D
D = b² - 4ac = b⁴ - 4a(a² + b²)(-a) = b⁴ + 4a⁴ + 4a²b² = (b² + 2a²)²
2. Solve for x

Answer: 35 (choice C)</h3>
=============================================
Explanation:
For any triangle, the three interior angles always add to 180.
D+E+F = 180
(7b+1) + (2b+1) + (b+8) = 180
(7b+2b+b) + (1+1+8) = 180
10b+10 = 180
10b = 180-10
10b = 170
b = 170/10
b = 17
Use this value of b to find the three angle measures
- D = 7b+1 = 7*17+1 = 119+1 = 120
- E = 2b+1 = 2*17+1 = 34+1 = 35 degrees
- F = b+8 = 17+8 = 25
As a check,
D+E+F = 120+35+25 = 120+60 = 180
which helps confirm the correct answers.
