A deciduous tree loses its leaves during cold, dry winter months. In which region of the country would this tree most likely be located? A: Central Ohio B: Central Florida C: Southern California D: Southeastern Louisiana

Option A, Central Ohio

Explanation:

Deciduous trees are prominent in Louisiana, Ohio, California and Florida landscapes and include mainly oak trees magnolia trees, bald cypress, sugar maple, hollies, vitex etc.  

These tropical deciduous trees lose their leaves to conserve water during dry weather season and then regrow during suitable growing season.  

Temperate deciduous trees shed their leaves during cold weather and tropical deciduous trees shed their leaves during dry season.

In Central Ohio, temperature is lower than 0 degree Celsius and hence deciduous trees will loose their leaves during winter.

Hence, Option A is correct

the water is warmed up by the sun and then it evaporates into the atmosphere. the sunlight warms the water by its heat. water is then cooled down and condensation takes place. the water then finally returns back to the earth by the process of precipitation in the form of rain or ice.

explanation:

answer-

the statement that f(x) = |x+a| + b has exactly one x-intercept is sometimes correct.

solution-

it solely depends on b, whether the function will have one or two or zero x intercept.

this plot of the given function, f(x) = |x+a| + b will be the basic absolute value graph i.e v shape, with vertex translated to (-a, b), instead of origin.

1-   if b is zero, the graph will have exactly one x-intercept, at x= -a

2- if b is positive, the whole graph will be above the x-axis, hence it will have no x-intercepts.

3- if b is negative, the graph will be below the x-axis, hence it will have two x-intercepts.

∴ the statement is sometimes true.
