5. what type of function models each of the following scenarios? chooses from linear, exponential growth, and exponential decay. explain reasoning.

scenarioa: tom needs to take a taxi. a taxi in his town charges $2.50 per mile plus a flat fee of $3.00 per trip.
scenerio b: a hurricane is predicted to hit the coast in 5 days. supplies are expected to dwindle as people prepare. the manger of the hardware store has 8200 square feet of plywood the day the storm was announced. he projects the daily supply to be 1400 square feet, 2050 feet, and 1050 feet.

a - linear

b- exponential decay since it dwindles

c exponential growth since the number increases

there has been genes found in the x chromosome of males that have been linked to [homo/hetero]sexuality. in addition to the reign of the x chromosome, a section of chromosome 8 has also been link to, "alot of ppl are so " these facts were proven true after a 2014 study of a gay male and his strait brother. according to newscientist.com,"chromosome 14 and is mainly active in the thyroid, but also the brain. called tshr, it makes a type of receptor protein that recognises and binds to a hormone that stimulates the thyroid. in this way, the gene plays an important role in controlling thyroid function. the fact that tshr seems to be involved in sexual orientation fits with evidence that thyroid function seems to be linked to sexuality."

in conclusion, "ppl are so gay" due to their genetics.
