You have an ant farm with 27 ants. The population of ants in your farm will double every 3 months. The table shows the population growth of the ants over nine months. Decide whether the table represents a linear function or a nonlinear function. After one year, how many ants will there be in the ant farm?

On traditional maps, earth is represented in a flat plane, or by euclidean geometry. however, a globe is a more accurate model that comes from elliptical geometry.how does a globe represent the fact that there are no parallel lines in elliptical geometry? the equator is not parallel to any other latitudinal lines. the north and south poles are never connected by a geodesic. the geodesics connecting the north and south poles never intersect. the geodesics connecting the north and south poles intersect at both of the poles.
