David is driving on the highway. He begins the trip with 14 gallons of gas in his car. The car uses up one gallon of gas every 20 miles. Let G represent the number of gallons of gas he has left in his tank, and let D represent the total distance (in miles) he has traveled. Write an equation relating G to D, and then graph your equation.

Graph in the image attached.

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the model of a linear equation, we have:

'b' is the y-intercept of the equation, that is, the inicial value of G, when D = 0.

So if David starts the trip with 14 gallons of gas, we have b = 14.

'a' is the slope of the line, that is, an increase of 1 in the value of D causes an increase of 'a' in the value of G.

So if the car uses one gallon every 20 miles, the value of a is -1/20 (an increase of 20 in D causes a decrease of 1 in G).]

So our equation is:

The graph of this equation is in the image attached.

the answer is; biodiversity resulting from few ancestors

adaptive radiation occurs when a population is subjected to a large natural environment with spatial ecological variations. the parts of the population in the different ecologies begin to adapt to their local environments. due to non-random mating across the large populations, this causes the different populations from the large population to speciate within their local environments. they, therefore, diverge to different species sharing a common ancestor.  

solution:

the given function is ,

      =

the three roots of this quadratic function is , 0 ,8 and 10.all the roots are real and rational.

if a quadratic equation is of the form ,

sum of the roots = a + b +c= 0+8+10=18=  

product of roots taken two at a time = a b + b c+ c a = 0+80+0=80 =  

product of roots = a b c = 0=  

there are 11 doors in a hall starting from 0 to 11.the entry in the hall is permitted through gate number 0 and exit is allowed through only gate number 8 and 10.so, three roots(0,8,10) of quadratic function is given by entry and exit route of this hall.
