1. A variety of cultures and societies have formed throughout human history
a Compare and contrast three aspects of a hunter-gatherer society with those of an agricultural
society.
b. Some hunter-gatherer societies shifted to agriculture as animals were domesticated and crop
plants were cultivated. What are two ways this shift could have increased the probability of members
surviving and reproducing in these societies?

answer; /// i believe the correct answer is (thrombocytopenia); (a)

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.

the statements that apply here about binary star system are

"have stars that might appear to wobble"

"often have one star that is brighter than other"

a binary star is a star system consisting of two stars revolving around their common barycenter. systems of two or more stars are called multiple star systems.
