Although jana's weight has been stable for 10 years, during the past month her weight has dropped more than 10 percent below her set point. it is likely that jana is experiencing a(n) in hunger and a(n) in basal metabolic rate.

Out of the following given choices;

A)     increase; increase B) decrease; increase C) increase; decrease D) decrease; decrease

The answer is A. Increased hunger causes an increased appetite that is due to increased episodes of hypoglycemia (low blood sugars). This is due to an increase in metabolic rate that  breaks up glucose for energy at very high rates.

Increase: increase

Explanation:

The basal metabolic rate is the measure of the rate of how the body undergoes metabolic processes.

An increase in hunger has a direct relationship with basal metabolic rate.

Hunger will make Jana eat well, when this happens her basal metabolic rate also increases through processes such as digestion etc.

you know they are heterozygous for a trait because they have it as jj or jj.

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.
