MULTIPLE CHOICE:
1)What is Synergistic Interaction?
a) When exponential growth of the human population exceeds the carrying capacity, a
massive dieback occurs.
b) Some activities harm the environment, but others do not.
c) Interaction of two or more factors or processes, so the combined effect is greater than
the sum of the separate effects.
d) alcohol reduces the effectiveness of a blood thinner.
2)Which is NOT an illustration of exponential growth?
a) money in a bank account
b) human population growth
c) the king who promised to double the number of grains of wheat he put on each
successive square of a checkerboard
d) driving at 10mph, then 20mph, then 30mph, then 40mph, each for 5 minutes
3)According to the rule of 70, if a nation grows at a rate of 14 percent per year, it will take
roughly ____ for national income to double
a) 17.5 years
b) 5 years
c) 8.75 years
d) .2 years
4) All nonrenewable resources can theoretically be:
a) exhausted or depleted
b) recycled or reused
c) converted to renewable resources
d) converted to nonmetallic minerals
FRQ:
What is the difference between inductive and deductive reasoning?
ANSWER KEY:
1) c
2) d
3) b
4) a
FRQ)
-Inductive reasoning = specific to general-using observations and facts to come to
generalizations
-Deductive reasoning = general to specific-using logic and generalizations to come to specific
conclusions
Document Summary
1)what is synergistic interaction? massive dieback occurs. the sum of the separate effects. 2)which is not an illustration of exponential growth? successive square of a checkerboard. 3)according to the rule of 70, if a nation grows at a rate of 14 percent per year, it will take roughly ____ for national income to double: all nonrenewable resources can theoretically be: Frq: exhausted or depleted, recycled or reused, converted to renewable resources, converted to nonmetallic minerals, 17. 5 years, 5 years, 8. 75 years, . 2 years. Inductive reasoning = specific to general-using observations and facts to come to generalizations.
