The answer is the third one: Ventricular hypertrophy.

Explanation for each option:

  1. AV block: This is a condition where the electrical conduction between the atria and ventricles of the heart is impaired. While hypertension can contribute to heart disease, AV block is not a direct complication of hypertension.

  2. Atrial fibrillation: This is an irregular and often rapid heart rate that can lead to poor blood flow. Hypertension is a risk factor for atrial fibrillation, but it is not a direct complication.

  3. Ventricular hypertrophy: This is the thickening of the walls of the ventricles (the heart's main pumping chambers). Hypertension forces the heart to work harder to pump blood, which can lead to ventricular hypertrophy. This is a direct and common complication of hypertension.

  4. Atrial atrophy: This refers to the wasting away or reduction in size of the atria. It is not a recognized complication of hypertension.

Summary: Ventricular hypertrophy is a direct and common complication of hypertension, making it the correct answer.

Identify the function's local extreme values in the given domain, and say where they occur. Graph the function over the given domain. Which of the extreme values, if any, are absolute? f(x)=sqrt(100-x^2), -10 ≤ x ≤ 10 a. Find each local maximum, if any. Select the correct choice below and, if necessary, fill in the answer boxes to complete your choice. A. The function has a local maximum value at one value of x. The maximum value is f(0)=10. (Type integers or simplified fractions.) B. The function has a local maximum value at three values of x. In increasing order of x-value, the maximum values are f()=, f()=, and f()=. (Type integers or simplified fractions.) C. The function has a local maximum value at two values of x. In increasing order of x-value, the maximum values are f()= and f()=. (Type integers or simplified fractions.) D. There are no local maxima. Find each local minimum, if any. Select the correct choice below and, if necessary, fill in the answer boxes to complete your choice. A. The function has a local minimum value at one value of x. The minimum value is f()=. (Type integers or simplified fractions.) B. The function has a local minimum value at two values of x. In increasing order of x-value, the minimum values are f() and f()= . (Type integers or simplified fractions.) C. The function has a local minimum value at three values of x. In increasing order of x-value, the minimum values are f()= and f()=. (Type integers or simplified fractions.) D. There are no local minima.

The table shows how much a fruit bar charges for their fruit cups. Write an expression to show how much it costs to buy a small cup of fruit with no toppings, and a large cup of fruit with x toppings. Then, find the total cost for a small cup of fruit with no toppings, and a large cup of fruit with 3 toppings. Write an expression for the total cost of a small cup of fruit with no toppings, and a large cup of fruit with x toppings.
