Question:

Which of the following equations represent a circle with center at (3, -2) and radius 5?

Answer Choices:

A) (x - 3)^2 + (y + 2)^2 = 5
B) (x - 3)^2 + (y + 2)^2 = 25
C) (x + 3)^2 + (y - 2)^2 = 5
D) (x - 3)^2 + (y - 2)^2 = 25
E) (x + 3)^2 + (y + 2)^2 = 25

✅ Answer:

(x - 3)^2 + (y + 2)^2 = 25

💡 Explanation:

The standard form of a circle's equation is (x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2, where (h, k) is the center and r is the radius.
For a circle with center (3, -2) and radius 5, the equation is (x - 3)^2 + (y + 2)^2 = 25, since 5^2 = 25.

Question:

Which of the following expressions is a difference of squares and can be factored using the formula $a^2 - b^2 = (a + b)(a - b)$ ?

Answer Choices:

A) x^2 - 16
B) x^2 + 16
C) x^2 - 2x
D) x^2 + 2x + 1

✅ Answer:

x^2 - 16

💡 Explanation:

The expression $x^2 - 16$ is a difference of squares because it can be rewritten as $x^2 - 4^2$ , which fits the formula $a^2 - b^2 = (a + b)(a - b)$ with $a = x$ and $b = 4$ .
Thus, it factors to $(x + 4)(x - 4)$ .

Question:

Explain how genetic variations can affect the survival and reproduction of individuals within a specific environment. Provide an example of a trait variation and describe how it might offer an advantage to certain individuals in that environment.

✅ Answer:

Genetic variations can lead to differences in traits among individuals within a population. These differences can affect how well individuals can survive and reproduce in their environment. For example, in a population of rabbits living in a snowy environment, those with white fur may be less visible to predators compared to those with darker fur. As a result, the white-furred rabbits might survive at higher rates and reproduce more successfully, passing on the advantageous white fur trait to future generations.

💡 Explanation:

Genetic variations contribute to the diversity within a population, and certain variations can provide advantages in specific environments.
These advantageous traits can enhance an individual's ability to survive predators, find food, or adapt to environmental changes, increasing their chances of reproduction.
Over time, these traits may become more common in the population.
