Identify the type of surface represented by the given equation. + + = 1

Consider the environmental ethical question of whether or not we ought to protect endangered species. Compare and contrast how someone considering this question from each of the following ethical perspectives/theories would likely analyze/evaluate it:Teleological/Natural Law approachUtilitarian approachDeontological/duty/rights approach*** Remember that copying/pasting from any course materials (other than your own words in the Prep Guide), the internet, or using generative AI like ChatGPT to help “write” or “proofread” or “improve” your answer violates my Academic Integrity policy. Note that generative AI is now incorporated into many popular writing and translating platforms (e.g. Grammarly, Quillbot, Google Translate, DeepL, etc.), so if you’re using those platforms, you’re using generative AI in violation of my policy. USE YOUR OWN WORDS or, if you are unable to do that, properly quote/informally cite them as I discuss in the Academic Integrity section of the Syllabus ***
