d. all of the alternatives are true.

(a) can describe uncontrollable natural events such as floods or freezing temperatures.

Step-by-step explanation:

The generally known five forces of nature include Gravity, Electromagnetism, Strong Nuclear Force, Weak Nuclear Force, and the Higgs Force. The interactions in this Universe are governed mainly by four forces. On the large scale, it is the forces of Gravitation and Electromagnetism rule; while the strong and weak forces dominate the microscopic realm of the atomic nucleus.

step-by-step explanation:

let f (x ) is a function and c be a positive real number,   the graph of the function g (x ) = f (cx ) is represented as follows.

when, c > 1,   the function compresses it in the x - direction.

when, 0 < c < 1, the function stretches it.

the function is g ( x ) = (9x )2.

the heighest power of x in g ( x ) = (9x )2 is 2, so the parent function is square function.

the equation of parent function is f ( x ) = x 2 .

the function is g ( x ) = (9x )2 and the parent function is f ( x ) = x 2 .

so, the functions f and g have the following relationship.

g ( x ) = f ( 9x ).

compare the function g ( x ) = f ( 9x ) with g (x ) = f (cx ).

c = 9 ( > 1 ).

so, the function g (x ) = (9x )2 compresses it in the x - direction.
