To find \( f(0) \), substitute \( 0 \) for \( x \): \( f(0) = 250(0.4)^0 \). Since \( (0.4)^0 = 1 \), the expression becomes \( 250 imes 1 = 250 \).

The function increases by 20%, which means it becomes 1.20 times its previous value at each step. The multiplier is 1.20. Therefore, the correct equation is \( g(x) = 30(1.20)^x \).

Rewrite \(f(x)\) in vertex form as \(2(x + 2)^2 - 2\). The minimum of \(f(x)\) is at \(x = -2\), so \(g(x) = f(x + 1)\) shifts this to \(x = -3\).

To find \( p \): \( 45 = \frac{p}{100} \times 90 \implies p = \frac{45 \times 100}{90} = 50 \). Calculate \( 50 \% \) of \( 45 \): \( \frac{50}{100} \times 45 = 22.5 \).

With \( h(4) = 810 \), substitute into \( h(x) = 10 \cdot c^x \): \( 10 \cdot c^4 = 810 \Rightarrow c^4 = 81 \Rightarrow c = 3 \). Now find \( h(-1) \): \( h(-1) = 10 \cdot 3^{-1} = 10 \cdot \frac{1}{3} = \frac{10}{3} \).

The volume of a cube is \( V = s^3 \). Given \( V = 343 \), find \( s = \sqrt[3]{343} = 7 \). The surface area formula is \( 6s^2 \). Therefore, the surface area is \( 6(7)^2 = 294 \) square units.

The sum of the solutions of a polynomial equation can be determined using the relationship between the coefficients and the sum of the roots. For each factor, find the solutions and sum them. The given information specifies that the total sum of solutions is \( \frac{20}{3} \), which leads to solving for \( p \).

To find \( p \), use the equation: \( 39 = \frac{p}{100} \times 65 \Rightarrow p = \frac{39 \times 100}{65} = 60 \). Then, calculate \( 60 \% \) of \( 39 \): \( \frac{60}{100} \times 39 = 23.4 \).

Solving for \( y \) using substitution or elimination, we find that \( y = 30 \).

Let the number of people who voted in favor of the policy be x. According to the problem, 5 times as many people voted against it, so the number against is 5x. The article states that 40,000 more people voted against it, so the equation is 5x = x + 40,000. Solving for x gives 10,000.

Dividing the equation by 4, completing the square, and simplifying gives n = 4.

Since \( f(3) = 1024 \), substitute into \( f(x) = 8 \cdot d^x \): \( 8 \cdot d^3 = 1024 \Rightarrow d^3 = 128 \Rightarrow d = 4 \). Now find \( f(-2) \): \( f(-2) = 8 \cdot 4^{-2} = 8 \cdot \frac{1}{16} = 0.5 \).

To find \( f(0) \), substitute \( 0 \) for \( x \): \( f(0) = 500(0.05)^0 \). Since \( (0.05)^0 = 1 \), the expression becomes \( 500 imes 1 = 500 \).

Since \(g(x) = f(x+1) = 6(10)^{x+1} = 6 \cdot 10 \cdot (10)^x = 60(10)^x\), the correct answer is g(x) = 60(10)^x.

Since \(\frac{c}{d} = 2\), we have \(c = 2d\). Substitute into \(\frac{40c}{qd} = 2\) to get \(\frac{40(2d)}{qd} = 2\). Simplify to \(\frac{80d}{qd} = 2\), cancel \(d\) and solve to find \(q = 40\).

Substitute \( (-14, 0) \) into both inequalities. Both inequalities are satisfied.

To have no real solution, the discriminant of \(x(m x - 40) + 25 = 0\) must be negative. Solving gives \(\)m^2 < 25[/latex], so the smallest integer for [latex]m[/latex] is 5.

The percentage can be calculated using the formula: \( \frac{350}{700} \times 100 = 50\% \).

To find \( a \), set \( p(x) = 0 \): \( 3x + 9 = 0 Rightarrow x = -3 \). Thus, \( a = -3 \). For \( b \), evaluate \( p(0) = 9 \). Therefore, \( a + b = -3 + 9 = 6 \).

Substitute values from each answer choice into both equations. Only \( (5, 10) \) satisfies both equations.

In the function h(x) = -2x + 20, the y-intercept (where x = 0) represents the initial amount of water the gardener had before filling any watering cans. When x = 0, h(0) = 20, indicating that the gardener started with 20 liters of water.

Factor out the greatest common factor, \(5x\), from the expression: \(5x(x^2 + 7x + 12)\). Then factor \(x^2 + 7x + 12\) as \((x + 3)(x + 4)\). The smallest possible value of \(b\) is 3.

The vertex of the function \( f(x) = \frac{1}{4}(x - 8)^2 + 6 \) occurs at \( (8, 6) \). This represents the minimum height of the drone. The vertex form of a quadratic function, \( a(x - h)^2 + k \), indicates the vertex as \( (h, k) \). Since \( h = 8 \) and \( k = 6 \), the minimum height is 6 meters above the ground.

Multiplying the first equation by -2 results in \( -2x + 8y = -6 \), which matches the second equation. Thus, the lines are the same, intersecting at infinitely many points.

We use the Pythagorean theorem: \( c^2 = 8^2 + 15^2 = 64 + 225 = 289 \). Therefore, \( c = \sqrt{289} = 17 \). The hypotenuse can be written as \( \sqrt{289} \), so \( d = 289 \).

Since the decay factor is 0.70 annually, this translates to a 30% decrease per year, so \(q = 30\).

Start by setting up the equation: \( 32,000 = 4,000(2)^{3r} \). Divide both sides by 4,000 to obtain \( 8 = (2)^{3r} \). Taking the logarithm base 2 of both sides yields \( 3 = 3r \). Therefore, \( r = 1 \).

To cover the walls twice, double the total area \(w\) to get \(2w\). Since each gallon covers 300 square feet, divide \(2w\) by 300 to get \(P = \frac{w}{150}\).

To find \( p \): \( 50 = \frac{p}{100} \times 80 \implies p = \frac{50 \times 100}{80} = 62.5 \). Calculate \( 62.5 \% \) of \( 50 \): \( \frac{62.5}{100} \times 50 = 31.25 \).

Since the function decreases by 30%, it retains 70% of its value at each step. Thus, the multiplier for the decay is 0.70. Therefore, the correct equation is \( f(x) = 100(0.70)^x \).
