Question

Anthony was tracking the increasing number of animals in the zoo. at 9

a.m., there were 56 animals. at 11

a.m., there were 60 animals. if anthony made the function f(x) = 2x − 38, what would the 2 represent? the number of animals at midnight the rate at which the number of animals was increasing the length of time he recorded for the total change in the number of animals

Answer 1

It’s a little surprising that this question didn’t come up earlier. Unfortunately, there’s no intuitive way to understand why “the energy of the rest mass of an object is equal to the rest mass times the speed of light squared” (E=MC2). A complete derivation/proof includes a fair chunk of math (in the second half of this post), a decent understanding of relativity, and (most important) experimental verification.

Answer 2

2 would represent the rate at which the animals were increasing

Step-by-step explanation: This all comes back to the slope intercept form:

y = mx + b

2x is the slope, and the slope is the rate of which a point will increase or decrease.
