Answer:

The United States is not a direct democracy, in the sense of a country in which laws (and other government decisions) are made predominantly by majority vote.

Explanation:

Some lawmaking is done this way, on the state and local levels, but it’s only a tiny fraction of all lawmaking. But we are a representative democracy, which is a form of democracy.

The United States is also a constitutional democracy, in which courts restrain in some measure the democratic will. And the United States is therefore also a constitutional republic.

Jessica has 900 feet of fencing and a very large field. She can enclose a rectangular area with dimensions x feet and (450 − x)

lorasvet [3.4K]

P = 2x+2(450-x)=900
A = x(450 - x)
A = x(450 - x)
-x² + 450x = A
-x² +450x = A
A is going to be maximum, when x is a vertex.
-(x² - 450x) = A
-(x² - 2*225x+225²) - 225² =A
-(x-225)² -225² = A
Vertex when x=225

Largest are 225(450-225) = 225² = 50625 ft²

The square has a largest area.

DiKsa [7]

The correct answer is - 2. There's an increase in the number of snakes and insects, and the storks face increased competition for food.

The significant decrease in the number of eagles, because of the human activity, and of the rabbits, because of a virus, has been of great use for the populations of the snakes to increase, as well as the populations of the insects. That has happened because the snakes lost their predator, and the insects lost a competition for a food source, so their numbers rose.

On the other hand, because of the increase of the number of snakes, the storks had started to face increased competition, as both have the same food source, the frogs.
