A beaker of boiling water stops boiling and eventually reaches room temperature. There is no lid on the beaker. The beaker and its content must have: gained thermal energy from the surroundings but lost mass to the surroundings, Lost thermal energy and mass to the surroundings, gained thermal energy and mass from the surroundings, canned mass from the surroundings but lost thermal energy to the surroundings

answer; i believe that the correct answer is(d) nondisjunction during meiosis;

i would go with b

cytokinesis occurs after telophase so that eliminates d

and the entire reason for cytokinesis is for cellular reproduction

the answer is c because it is most logical.

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.
