Q must be positive in F.
F. r squared will be positive, because any number times itself is positive, and to get a positive number for the answer, the two numbers you multiply need to be the same sign. If r squared is positive, q must be too.
G. q does not have to be positive. If r is a negative number, then q can be negative. Say q=-2 and r=-3. -2-(-3) changes to -2+3, which equals 1.
H. Again, q can be negative if r is negative (two negative numbers multiplied together equals a positive answer.
J. q can be negative because even a negative number turns positive when squared.
Hope this helped you. :)
Answer: option C
find f(x) - g(x)
f(x)= 
g(x) = 
To find f(x) - g(x) we plug in the functions and subtract

Remove the parenthesis and change the sign of each term

Combine like terms

So option C is correct
An exponential function is :
f ( x ) = a * b^x,
where x is the number of the years.
a = 240 ( number of the birds at start )
16 % = 0.16
b = 1 + 0.16 = 1.16
f ( x ) = 240 * 1.16^x
Answer:
a = 240, b = 1.16
