Answer: f(x) = 3x^2 + 1
g(x) = 1 - x
(f - g)(x) = 3x^2 + 1 - (1 - x) = 3x^2 + 1 - 1 + x = 3x^2 + x
(f - g)(2) = 3(2)^2 + 2 = 3(4) + 2 = 12 + 2 = 14.
Explanation:
A major problem with using 15 years of data to predict 100 years of data is that the 15 years could have been setting a trend, then level off.
For example, if the 15 years of data was a graph, and it was going up every year, then what if 20 years into the 100 years it stops going up? Then that means the data was invalid because there wasn't enough to base any trends off of.
You can prevent this from happening by extending the collection time of data and to reduce the amount of time that the data will be used to predict.

I think the best answer is B. Chinese culture influenced Japan in the areas of religion, writing, and technology. China, being in close contact with Japan even before, had many influences in Japan. They imported a very big rang of ideas, techniques of production and institutional models from China. Through these, new rice growing techniques and handicraft production were developed by Japanese as early as the Yamato period.
The wind from the ocean keeps it cooler in summers. This is just a guess, but I think the sun reflecting on the ocean helps keep it warmer in the winter.
