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.

First, find the measure of angle N in radians: \( \frac{3\pi}{4} + \frac{\pi}{6} = \frac{11\pi}{12} \). Then, convert to degrees by multiplying by \( \frac{180}{\pi} \): \( \frac{11\pi}{12} \cdot \frac{180}{\pi} = 165 \) degrees.

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.

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 \(P = \frac{w}{150}\).

Substitute \( b = 8 \) into the equation: \( 2.5d + 3.5(8) = 70 \Rightarrow 2.5d + 28 = 70 \Rightarrow 2.5d = 42 \Rightarrow d = 16 \).

To have no real solution, the discriminant of \(x(n x - 72) + 36 = 0\) must be negative. Solving gives \(\)n^2 < 36[/latex], so the smallest integer for [latex]n[/latex] is 6.

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, \( r = \frac{1}{2} \).

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 \( 17/2 \).

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

Using \( x = \frac{-b}{2a} \), we find the minimum value occurs at \( x = \frac{12}{2} = 6 \).

First, find the measure of angle Y in radians: \( \frac{\pi}{6} + \frac{\pi}{3} = \frac{\pi}{2} \). Then, convert to degrees by multiplying by \( \frac{180}{\pi} \): \( \frac{\pi}{2} \cdot \frac{180}{\pi} = 90 \) degrees.

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

Both equations are identical, which means the lines coincide perfectly and intersect at infinitely many points.

Since the triangles are congruent, angle \( Z \) is equal to angle \( C \), so the measure of angle \( C \) is 70°.

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 \( j(0.5) \): \( j(0.5) = 50 \cdot 5^{0.5} = 50 \cdot \sqrt{5} = 50 \sqrt{5} \).

Since \( \triangle PQR \) and \( \triangle STU \) are congruent, corresponding angles are equal. Angle \( Q \) and \( T \) are right angles, so each measures 90°. Therefore, angle \( U \) must be equal to angle \( P \), which is 25°.

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 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 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 the function decreases by 60%, it retains 40% of its value at each step. Thus, the multiplier for the decay is 0.40. Therefore, the correct equation is \( p(x) = 50(0.40)^x \).

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 \( q(x) = 14(0.55)^x \).

Start by setting up the equation: \( 24,000 = 3,000(2)^{8r} \). Divide both sides by 3,000 to obtain \( 8 = (2)^{8r} \). Taking the logarithm base 2 of both sides gives \( 3 = 8r \). Therefore, \( r = \frac{3}{8} \).

We use the Pythagorean theorem: \( c^2 = 9^2 + 12^2 = 81 + 144 = 225 \). Therefore, \( c = \sqrt{225} = 15 \). The hypotenuse can be written as \( 3\sqrt{25} \), so \( d = 25 \).

The function \(q(x) = 1.3x\) represents a proportional increase, showing a steady, linear growth with respect to \(x\). Therefore, 'Increasing Linear' is correct.

To find the surface area, find the side length first. The volume of the cube is \( V = s^3 \). Given \( V = 729 \), \( s = \sqrt[3]{729} = 9 \). The surface area formula is \( 6s^2 \). Therefore, the surface area is \( 6(9)^2 = 486 \) square units.

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

Both sides simplify to \( 8z + 4 \), making the equation true for all values of z. Therefore, there are infinitely many solutions.

To have no real solution, the discriminant of \(x(q x - 64) + 20 = 0\) must be negative. Solving gives \(\)q^2 < 16[/latex], so the smallest integer for [latex]q[/latex] is 4.

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

We use the Pythagorean theorem: \( c^2 = 16^2 + 30^2 = 256 + 900 = 1156 \). Therefore, \( c = \sqrt{1156} = 34 \). The hypotenuse can be written as \( 2\sqrt{289} \), so \( d = 289 \).

The two lines are parallel because their slopes are equal. Dividing the first equation by 2 yields \( 3.5x + y = 7.5 \). Since this differs from the second equation, the lines are parallel and do not intersect.

From \(\frac{x}{y} = 8\), we know \(x = 8y\). Substitute into \(\frac{56x}{my} = 8\) to get \(\frac{56(8y)}{my} = 8\). Simplify to \(\frac{448y}{my} = 8\), cancel \(y\) and solve to find \(m = 56\).

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 \( f(-2) \): \( f(-2) = 8 \cdot 4^{-2} = 8 \cdot \frac{1}{16} = 0.5 \).

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.

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.

Start with the slope \( -\frac{5}{6} \) and point \( (-6, 4) \). Using the point-slope formula, the equation is \( y = -\frac{5}{6}x + 4 \).

In similar triangles, corresponding angles have the same trigonometric values. Thus, \( \sin(J) = \sin(G) = \frac{24}{25} \).

The population triples every hour, so the growth factor per hour is 3. Since there are 24 hours in a day, the population after \( x \) days is \( p = 1,000 \cdot 3^{24x} \).

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.

Using the quadratic formula, \(x = \frac{12 \pm \sqrt{144 - 44}}{2} = 6 \pm \sqrt{25}\). So, the solution can be written as \(6 + \sqrt{25}\) and the correct value of \(k\) is 25.

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

To have no real solution, the discriminant of \(x(p x - 90) + 49 = 0\) must be negative. Solving gives \(\)p^2 < 49[/latex], so the smallest integer for [latex]p[/latex] is 7.

Since the triangles are similar, corresponding angles have the same trigonometric ratios. Thus, \( \sin(D) = \sin(A) = \frac{120}{125} \).
