The answer is D: positive reinforcer.

Explanation for each option:

A. Negative punishment: This involves removing a desirable stimulus to decrease a behavior. For example, taking away a toy when a child misbehaves. This is not applicable here because the child is receiving something (a sticker) rather than having something taken away.

B. Negative reinforcer: This involves removing an unpleasant stimulus to increase a behavior. For example, stopping a loud noise when a child completes their homework. This is not applicable here because nothing is being removed; instead, something is being added.

C. Positive punishment: This involves adding an unpleasant stimulus to decrease a behavior. For example, scolding a child for not doing their homework. This is not applicable here because the goal is to increase the behavior of picking up toys, not decrease it.

D. Positive reinforcer: This involves adding a pleasant stimulus to increase a behavior. In this case, giving a child a sticker each time they pick up their toys is intended to encourage and increase the behavior of picking up toys. Therefore, this is the correct answer.

Solving a System of a Linear and a Quadratic Equation Algebraically Solving a system of a linear equation and a quadratic equation algebraically is similar to solving a system of linear equations. You have used substitution to solve systems of linear equations. This same strategy can be used to solve a system of a linear and a quadratic equation. Continue to consider this system of equations: Linear equation: -2x + y = 8 Quadratic equation: x^2 + y = 16 Complete the steps in the problem to solve the system algebraically. The linear equation can be written in slope-intercept form as y = 2x + 8. Substitute the expression equal to y into the quadratic equation. x^2 + (2x + 8) = 16 Subtract 16 from both sides to rewrite the equation so that it is equal to 0. x^2 + 2x - 8 = 0 Factor x^2 + 2x - 8 Now, the equation can be rewritten as (x - 2)(x + 4) = 0. Set each factor equal to 0 and solve for x. x =
