From online research, the article is;

As days get shorter and colder in the autumn, chlorophyll molecules break down. Leaves quickly lose their green color. Some leaves begin to look yellow or orange because they still contain pigments called carotenoids. One such pigment, carotene, gives carrots their bright-orange color.

But red is special. This brilliant color appears only because the leaves of some plants, including maples, actually produce new pigments, called anthocyanins.

That’s a strange thing for a plant to do without a reason, says Bill Hoch of the University of Wisconsin in Madison. Why? Because it takes a lot of energy to make anthocyanins.

Why red?

To figure out the purpose of the red pigment, Hoch and his coworkers bred mutant plants that can’t make anthocyanins and compared them with plants that do make anthocyanins. They found that plants that can make red pigments continue to absorb nutrients from their leaves long after the mutant plants have stopped.

This study and others suggest that anthocyanins work like a sunscreen. When chlorophyll breaks down, a plant’s leaves become vulnerable to the sun’s harsh rays. By turning red, plants protect themselves from sun damage. They can continue to take nutrients out of their dying leaves. These reserves help the plants stay healthy through the winter.

The more anthocyanins a plant produces, the redder its leaves become. This explains why colors vary from year to year, and even from tree to tree. Stressful conditions, such as drought and disease, often make a season redder.

Now, Hoch is breeding plants for a new set of experiments. He wants to find out whether turning red helps plants survive cold weather.

“There’s a clear correlation between environments that get colder in the fall and the amount of red produced,” he says. “Red maples turn bright red in Wisconsin. In Florida, they don’t turn nearly as bright.”

More protection

Elsewhere, scientists are looking at anthocyanins in other ways. A recent study in Greece, for instance, found that as leaves grow redder, insects eat them less. On the basis of this observation, some scientists argue that red pigments defend a plant against bugs.

Leaves may turn red in the autumn to protect themselves from the sun’s ultraviolet rays.

J. Miller

Hoch rejects that theory, but Lee thinks that it might make sense. He points out that red leaves contain less nitrogen than green ones do. “It may actually be that insects avoid red leaves because they’re less nutritious,” Lee says.

However, “it’s pretty confusing at this point,” Lee admits. “People debate back and forth.”

To settle the debate, scientists will need to look at more species under more conditions, Lee says. So, he’s now researching leafy plants rather than trees. He’s especially interested in tropical plants, whose leaves turn red when they’re young rather than old.

Answer:

As seen in the Explanation, different people have given reasons why bright red leaves in the fall help protect the trees in the winter. Thus, there is sufficient evidence to conclude that bright red leaves in the fall help protect the trees in the winter.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the article, we can see that Hoch and his coworkers carried out an experiment on mutants and they discovered that plants that can make red pigments tend to continue absorbing nutrients from their leaves a long time after the mutant plants have stopped.

This study and other believe that plants make anthocyanins which acts as a kind of sunscreen to the plants. They also discovered that by the plants turning red, they protect themselves from sun damage

Also, we see that some scientists in Greece found out that as leaves grow redder, insects eat them less and they argued that red pigments defend a plant against bugs and as such Leaves may turn red in the autumn to protect themselves from the sun’s ultraviolet rays.

My Answer: One study said that anthocyanins are pigments that make leaves turn red. And some trees don’t absorb as many nutrients as trees with red leaves. That particular study focused on trees that don’t produce anthocyanins. So i believe there's some evidence, but not a definitive conclusion.

Edmentum Answer: There’s some evidence, but not a definitive conclusion. One study focused on trees that don’t produce anthocyanins. Anthocyanins are pigments that make leaves turn red. The study said that these trees don’t absorb as many nutrients as trees with red leaves.

Another study found that insects are generally not inclined to eat red leaves on trees. There seems to be a trend that suggests that red leaves are important for the trees’ survival in the fall. This trend needs to be validated by conducting more tests.

Answer:

3.7 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

A golden rectangle is a rectangle in which the length and the width are in the ratio 1 : 1.618

If the width of the rectangle is 6, the length = 6 / 1.618 = 3.708 ft

= 3.7 (to the nearest tenth)

the tenth is the first number after the decimal place. To convert to the nearest tenth, look at the number after the tenth (the hundredth). If the number is greater or equal to 5, add 1 to the tenth figure. If this is not the case, add zero

Answer:

$5.5 per mile

40 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Fixed cost = $10

Variable cost = $3

For a journey of 4 miles ;

Cost = fixed cost + Variable Cost

Cost = $10 + $3x

x = number of miles

Cost = $10 + $3(4)

Cost = $10 + $12 = $22

Average cost per mile for a journey of 4 miles

Cost / number of miles

$22 / 4 = $5.5 per mile

Minimum distance if average per mile is to be less Than 3.25

$3.25 = (10 + 3x) / x

3.25x = 10 + 3x

3.25x - 3x = 10

0.25x = 10

x = 10 / 0.25

x = 40 miles

Complete question is;

Which of these is an exponential parent function?

A. f(x) = x

B. f(x) = 2^(x)

C. f(x) = x²

D. f(x) = |x|

Answer:

B. f(x) = 2^(x)

Step-by-step explanation:

> In option A, f(x) = x

This function depicts a straight line with intercept as 0 and slope as 1.

> In option C, f(x) = x²

This function depicts a parabola open up since the leading coefficient is greater than 0.

> In option D: f(x) = |x|

This function depicts a straight line y = x for x > 0 and y = -x for x < 0

In option B f(x) = 2^(x)

This function depicts an exponential function because the x is in the exponent form with a base of 2.

Answer:

11.7…?

Step-by-step explanation:

Small triangle and other triangle are similar based on sas theorem (I think) so find scale factor — 2— then do Pythagorean theorem

Work Shown:

Apply the slope formula

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m = (-2-6)/(1-0)

m = -8/1

m = -8

The slope is -8

We can think of it like saying "go down 8 and move to the right 1 unit", since -8 = -8/1.

Put another way: slope = rise/run = -8/1

rise = -8 and run = 1.

Answer:

-8

it's easy just use the equation y2-y1 ÷ x2-x1

Answer:

40 and 136

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of the 2 numbers = 5 : 17 = 5x : 17x ( x is a multiplier )

One number is 96 more than the other then

17x = 5x + 96 ( subtract 5x from both sides )

12x = 96 ( divide both sides by 12 )

x = 8 , then

5x = 5 × 8 = 40

17x = 17 × 8 = 136

The 2 numbers are 40 and 136

We need to solve it.

We know that,

[tex]\sqrt{0.09}=0.3\ and\ \sqrt{0.05}=0.223[/tex]

So,

[tex]0.5\times \sqrt{0.09}-2\sqrt{0.05}+\sqrt \frac{1}{4}=0.5\times 0.3-2\times 0.22+0.5\\\\=0.21[/tex]

or

[tex]=\dfrac{21}{100}[/tex]

So, the value of the given expression is equal to 0.21.

====================================

Explanation:

Draw a vertical line up from x = 7 until you reach the diagonal red line. Mark point P at this location. Then from point P, move horizontally until you reach the y axis. You should get to y = 14.

See the diagram below.

The equation of this red line is y = 2x. Whatever the input x is, we double it to get y. So if x = 7, then y = 2x = 2*7 = 14

Answer:

The values of x for which the function can be replaced by the Taylor polynomial if the error cannot exceed 0.001 is 0 < x < 0.3936.

Step-by-step explanation:

Note: This question is not complete. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:

Determine the values of x for which the function can be replaced by the Taylor polynomial if the error cannot exceed 0.001. f(x) = e^x ≈ 1 + x + x²/2! + x³/3!, x < 0

The explanation of the answer is now provided as follows:

Given:

f(x) = e^x ≈ 1 + x + x²/2! + x³/3!, x < 0 …………….. (1)

[tex]R_{3}[/tex] = (x) = (e^z /4!)x^4

Since the aim is [tex]R_{3}[/tex](x) < 0.001, this implies that:

(e^z /4!)x^4 < 0.0001 ………………………………….. (2)

Multiply both sided of equation (2) by (1), we have:

e^4x^4 < 0.024 ……………………….......……………. (4)

Taking 4th root of both sided of equation (4), we have:

|xe^(z/4) < 0.3936 ……………………..........…………(5)

Dividing both sides of equation (5) by e^(z/4) gives us:

|x| < 0.3936 / e^(z/4) ……………….................…… (6)

In equation (6), when z > 0, e^(z/4) > 1. Therefore, we have:

|x| < 0.3936 -----> 0 < x < 0.3936

Therefore, the values of x for which the function can be replaced by the Taylor polynomial if the error cannot exceed 0.001 is 0 < x < 0.3936.
