We use the Pythagorean theorem: \( c^2 = 7^2 + 24^2 = 49 + 576 = 625 \). Therefore, \( c = \sqrt{625} = 25 \). Since the length is already in the form \( \sqrt{625} [/latex}, the value of [latex] d \) is 625.

Using the quadratic formula, \(x = \frac{8 \pm \sqrt{64 - 28}}{2} = 4 \pm \sqrt{9}\). So, the solution can be written as \(4 + \sqrt{9}\) and the correct value of \(k\) is 9.

To isolate \(5x + 6y\), multiply both sides by \((5x + 6y)\), resulting in \(n = t(5x + 6y)\). Dividing by \(t\) gives \(5x + 6y = \frac{n}{t}\).

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 \( g(x) = 30(1.20)^x \).

To find \( a \), set \( r(x) = 0 \): \( 8x - 16 = 0 Rightarrow x = 2 \). Thus, \( a = 2 \). For \( b \), evaluate \( r(0) = -16 \). Therefore, \( a + b = 2 - 16 = -14 \).

Since the triangles are similar, corresponding angles have equal trigonometric ratios, so \( \sin(U) = \sin(R) = \frac{40}{41} \).

Dividing the equation by 16, completing the square, and simplifying gives n = 8.

To determine the doubling time, solve \( p(t) = 2 \cdot p(0) \), which gives \( 75,000 \cdot (1.02)^{t/250} = 150,000 \). Take the logarithm of both sides, isolate \( t \), and convert to hours.

The change in degrees Fahrenheit is determined by multiplying the temperature increase in kelvins by \( \frac{9}{5} \), since the \( x \) term in the function is being multiplied by this factor. Therefore, the increase in Fahrenheit temperature is \( \frac{9}{5} \times 4.50 = 8.10 \).

In the equation 4𝑛 + 25𝑚 = 1,150, the coefficient 4 corresponds to the bird sanctuary, meaning 𝑛 represents the number of nests per hectare in the bird sanctuary.

To cover the walls twice, double the total area \(w\) to get \(2w\). Since each gallon covers 200 square feet, divide \(2w\) by 200 to get \(P = \frac{w}{100}\).

Convert the area to square miles by dividing by \(1760^2\): \(10,240,000 / 3,097,600 = 3.31\) square miles.

The second equation is just a multiple of the first. Dividing the second equation by -2 yields \( 5x + 4y = 16 \). Thus, the two lines are the same and intersect at infinitely many points.

Using elimination or substitution, we solve for \( y = 5 \).

With \(p(x) = 0.75x\), the function decreases linearly as \(x\) increases, representing a consistent reduction in value. Hence, the answer is 'Decreasing Linear.'

Rewrite \(f(x)\) in vertex form as \(5(x - 2)^2 + 75\). The minimum of \(f(x)\) is at \(x = 2\), so \(g(x) = f(x + 3)\) shifts this to \(x = -1\).

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

Using the quadratic formula, \(x = \frac{6 \pm \sqrt{36 - 12}}{2} = 3 \pm \sqrt{6}\). So, the solution can be written as \(3 + \sqrt{6}\) and the correct value of \(k\) is 6.

Set up the equation \( 24,000 = 1,500(2)^{12r} \). Divide both sides by 1,500 to obtain \( 16 = (2)^{12r} \). Taking the logarithm base 2 of both sides yields \( 4 = 12r \). Therefore, \( r = \frac{1}{3} \).

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 \(q = 40\).

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 \( h(-1) \): \( h(-1) = 10 \cdot 3^{-1} = 10 \cdot \frac{1}{3} = \frac{10}{3} \).

Start by setting up the equation with the given values: \( 64,000 = 8,000(2)^{6r} \). Divide both sides by 8,000 to get \( 8 = (2)^{6r} \). Taking the logarithm base 2 of both sides gives \( 3 = 6r \). Therefore, \( r = \frac{1}{2} \).

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.

We use the Pythagorean theorem: \( c^2 = 5^2 + 12^2 = 25 + 144 = 169 \). Therefore, \( c = \sqrt{169} = 13 \). Since the length is already in the form \( \sqrt{169} [/latex}, the value of [latex] d \) is 169.

Factor out the greatest common factor, \(6x\), from the expression: \(6x(x^2 + 4x + 5)\). Then factor \(x^2 + 4x + 5\) as \((x + 1)(x + 5)\). The smallest possible value of \(b\) is 1.

Expanding the equation, we obtain \( x^2 + 2x - 10 = 3x^2 - 15x \). Rearranging terms, we get \( -2x^2 + 17x - 10 = 0 \). Using the quadratic formula, the sum of the solutions is given by \( -b/a \), where \( a = -2 \) and \( b = 17 \), which yields \( 17/2 \).

The function \(g(x) = 1.5x\) represents a proportional increase with respect to \(x\). As \(x\) increases, \(g(x)\) also increases linearly. Therefore, the correct answer is 'Increasing Linear.'

Since \(f(x) = 1.2x\) shows a constant proportional increase, the function is linear and increases with \(x\). Thus, the correct answer is 'Increasing Linear.'

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

Calculate percentages: Candidate X received \( \frac{350}{800} = 0.4375 \), or 43.75%. Candidate Y received \( \frac{450}{800} = 0.5625 \), or 56.25%. If 5,600 people vote, Candidate X would receive \( 0.4375 \times 5600 = 2450 \) votes, and Candidate Y \( 0.5625 \times 5600 = 3150 \) votes. The difference is \( 3150 - 2450 = 700 \) votes.

Since the side lengths of square C are 8 times those of square D, the area of square C is \( 8^2 = 64 \) times the area of square D. Therefore, \( k = 64 \).

With the slope \( \frac{7}{8} \) and point \( (4, -1) \), apply the point-slope formula to find the equation \( y = \frac{7}{8}x - \frac{23}{8} \).
