Question:

Explain how the increase in human population affects Earth's natural resources and systems. Provide at least two examples to support your explanation.

✅ Answer:

The increase in human population affects Earth's natural resources and systems by increasing demand for resources which can lead to overconsumption and depletion. For example, more people require more food, which can lead to deforestation to create farmland, impacting ecosystems and reducing biodiversity. Additionally, increased population leads to more waste production, which can contribute to pollution in air, water, and soil, affecting the health of these systems.

💡 Explanation:

As human population grows, the demand for natural resources such as water, minerals, and energy increases.
This can result in overuse and depletion of these resources, leading to negative impacts on Earth's systems.
Deforestation for agriculture, pollution from waste, and increased carbon emissions are examples of how human activities associated with population growth stress natural systems.

Question:

Solve the quadratic equation: x^2 - 4x - 5 = 0. Show your work and explain your reasoning.

✅ Answer:

(x - 5)(x + 1) = 0, so x = 5 or x = -1.

💡 Explanation:

To solve the quadratic equation x^2 - 4x - 5 = 0, we can factor the quadratic expression.
We look for two numbers that multiply to -5 and add to -4.
These numbers are -5 and +1.
Therefore, we can factor the equation as (x - 5)(x + 1) = 0.
Using the zero product property, if (x - 5)(x + 1) = 0, then either x - 5 = 0 or x + 1 = 0.
Solving these equations gives x = 5 or x = -1.

Question:

Which of the following statements correctly describe the relationship between the amplitude of a wave and the energy it carries?

Answer Choices:

A) A wave with a higher amplitude carries more energy than a wave with a lower amplitude.
B) The energy of a wave is independent of its amplitude.
C) If the amplitude of a wave doubles, the energy carried by the wave quadruples.
D) A wave with a lower amplitude carries more energy than a wave with a higher amplitude.
E) The amplitude of a wave does not affect its energy at all.

✅ Answer:

A wave with a higher amplitude carries more energy than a wave with a lower amplitude.; If the amplitude of a wave doubles, the energy carried by the wave quadruples.

💡 Explanation:

The amplitude of a wave is directly related to the energy it carries.
A higher amplitude means the wave carries more energy.
Specifically, the energy carried by a wave is proportional to the square of its amplitude, which means if the amplitude doubles, the energy increases by a factor of four.
