To find the number of votes Angel Cruz is expected to win by, first determine the percentage of votes each candidate received. Angel received \( \frac{483}{803} \approx 0.601 \), or 60.1%. Terry received \( \frac{320}{803} \approx 0.399 \), or 39.9%. If 6,424 people vote, Angel would receive \( 0.601 \times 6424 \approx 3864 \) votes and Terry would receive \( 0.399 \times 6424 \approx 2560 \) votes. The difference is \( 3864 - 2560 = 1304 \) votes.

The system has no solution when the slopes are the same but the lines have different intercepts. Solving this condition gives n = 45.

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 \( \frac{9}{5} \times 1.50 = 2.70 \).

Since \(g(x) = f(x+2) = 8(5)^{x+2} = 8 \cdot 25 \cdot (5)^x = 200(5)^x\), the correct answer is g(x) = 200(5)^x.

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.

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.

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

Calculate the slope using the two points and find the equation of the line. Substitute \(x = m - 4\) to find the y-intercept \(b = 45\).

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.

Calculate percentages: Candidate L received \( \frac{600}{1000} = 0.6 \), or 60%. Candidate M received \( \frac{400}{1000} = 0.4 \), or 40%. If 7,500 people vote, Candidate L would receive \( 0.6 \times 7500 = 4500 \) votes, and Candidate M \( 0.4 \times 7500 = 3000 \) votes. The difference is \( 4500 - 3000 = 1500 \) votes.

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 cover the walls twice, double the total area \(w\) to get \(2w\). Since each gallon covers 180 square feet, divide \(2w\) by 180 to get \(P = \frac{w}{90}\).

Expanding the equation, we obtain \( 2x^2 - 8x + 12 = 12x - 6x^2 \). Rearranging terms, we get \( 8x^2 - 20x + 12 = 0 \). Using the quadratic formula, the sum of the solutions is given by \( -b/a \), where \( a = 8 \) and \( b = -20 \), which yields \( 20/8 = 5/2 \).

To find \( f(0) \), substitute \( 0 \) for \( x \) in the function: \( f(0) = 300(0.2)^0 \). Since any non-zero number raised to the power of \( 0 \) is \( 1 \), the expression becomes \( 300 imes 1 = 300 \).

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

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.

The values and frequencies are symmetric across the two data sets, which means the mean values are the same.

After simplifying and solving, we find \( y = 27 \).

Using the point-slope form \( y - y_1 = m(x - x_1) \) with the slope \( m = \frac{3}{5} \) and point \( (2, -4) \), the resulting equation is \( y = \frac{3}{5}x - \frac{22}{5} \).

The triangles are similar, so corresponding angles have the same trigonometric ratios. Therefore, \( \sin(P) = \sin(X) = \frac{5}{13} \).

The vertex of the function \( f(x) = \frac{1}{6}(x - 10)^2 + 4 \) occurs at \( (10, 4) \). This represents the minimum height of the basketball. The vertex form of a quadratic function, \( a(x - h)^2 + k \), indicates the vertex as \( (h, k) \). Since \( h = 10 \) and \( k = 4 \), the minimum height is 4 feet above the court.

To cover the walls twice, double the total area \(w\) to get \(2w\). Since each gallon covers 150 square feet, divide \(2w\) by 150 to get the equation \(P = \frac{w}{75}\).

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

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

Since both sides of the equation are identical, the equation is true for all values of x. Therefore, there are infinitely many solutions.

First, find the measure of angle B in radians: \( \frac{\pi}{4} + \frac{3\pi}{8} = \frac{5\pi}{8} \). Then, convert to degrees by multiplying by \( \frac{180}{\pi} \): \( \frac{5\pi}{8} \cdot \frac{180}{\pi} = 112.5 \) degrees.

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 \( \frac{9}{5} \times 2.10 = 3.78 \).

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

Since the side lengths of square P are 20 times the side lengths of square Q, the area of square P is \( 20^2 = 400 \) times the area of square Q. Therefore, \( k = 400 \).

Since the function decreases by 45%, it retains 55% of its value at each step. Thus, the multiplier for the decay is 0.55. Therefore, the correct equation is \( q(x) = 14(0.55)^x \).

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 \( j(5) = 15625 \), substitute into \( j(x) = 50 \cdot k^x \): \( 50 \cdot k^5 = 15625 \Rightarrow k^5 = 312.5 \Rightarrow k = 5 \). Now find \( j(0.5) \): \( j(0.5) = 50 \cdot 5^{0.5} = 50 \cdot \sqrt{5} = 50 \sqrt{5} \).

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

Rewriting the equation: \( x^2 + x - 56 = 4x^2 - 28x \). Rearranging terms, we get \( -3x^2 + 29x - 56 = 0 \). Solving using the quadratic formula, the sum of the solutions is given by \( -b/a \), where \( a = -3 \) and \( b = 29 \), which yields \( 29/3 \).

Only \( (2, 6) \) satisfies both equations.

Since the rate of drainage is 3 liters per second, over one minute (60 seconds), the volume drained would be 3 * 60 = 180 liters. Converting to milliliters (1 liter = 1000 mL), the answer is 180,000 mL.

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, \( r = 1 \).

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 \( d = 289 \).

The percentage can be calculated using the formula: \( \frac{120}{400} \times 100 = 30\% \).

To isolate \(2p + 9q\), multiply both sides by \((2p + 9q)\), resulting in \(g = w(2p + 9q)\). Dividing by \(w\) gives \(2p + 9q = \frac{g}{w}\).

The minimum value of \( y \) occurs at \( x = \frac{-b}{2a} \). Here, \( a = 1 \) and \( b = -8 \), so \( x = \frac{8}{2} = 4 \).

To find \( f(0) \), substitute \( 0 \) for \( x \): \( f(0) = 180(0.3)^0 \). Since \( (0.3)^0 = 1 \), the expression becomes \( 180 imes 1 = 180 \).

To find the doubling time, set \( b(t) = 2 \cdot b(0) \) and solve for \( t \): \( 15,000 \cdot (1.06)^{t/100} = 30,000 \). Use logarithms to isolate \( t \) and convert to hours.
