With side lengths of square X being 50 times those of square Y, the area of square X is \( 50^2 = 2500 \) times the area of square Y. Thus, \( k = 2500 \).

The decay factor is 0.90 per three months, equating to a 10% drop per quarter. After one year, this approximates to a 34% annual decay rate, so \(m = 34\).

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, \( k = 64 \).

The congruence of triangles implies that angle \( R \) is equal to angle \( L \), so the measure of angle \( R \) is 30°.

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.

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

The sum of the solutions is calculated separately for each factor. Using the given total sum of \( \frac{25}{2} \), solve for the value of \( p \).

In the function g(x) = -3x + 50, the y-intercept (where x = 0) represents the initial amount of dough the baker had before making any loaves. When x = 0, g(0) = 50, indicating that the baker started with 50 pounds of dough.

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

Expanding the right side results in \( 10a - 3 \), which is identical to the left side. Therefore, the equation holds for all values of a, implying infinitely many solutions.

Find the sum of the roots for each factor separately, then combine them and compare it to the given total of 8 to find the value of \( p \).

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

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.

The minimum value of \( y \) occurs at \( x = \frac{-b}{2a} \), giving \( x = \frac{6}{2} = 3 \).

The percentage can be calculated using the formula: \( \frac{\text{Part}}{\text{Whole}} \times 100 \). Here, \( \frac{50}{200} \times 100 = 25\% \).

To find the area in square miles, divide by \(1760^2\): \(8,673,280 / 3,097,600 = 2.8\) square miles.

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

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.

In the function k(x) = -8x + 64, the y-intercept (where x = 0) represents the initial amount of concrete the worker had before building any foundations. When x = 0, k(0) = 64, indicating that the worker started with 64 cubic feet of concrete.

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 \( d = 289 \).

Let the number of small candles be represented by \( x \), and the number of large candles by \( y \). The total number of candles is at least 200, so we have the inequality:

\( x + y geq 200 \).

The budget constraint is that the total cost must not exceed $2,200. Therefore, we have the equation:

\( 4.90x + 11.60y leq 2,200 \).

We want to maximize the number of large candles, \( y \). First, solve for \( x \) in terms of \( y \) using the inequality:

\( x = 200 - y \).

Substitute this into the budget constraint:

\( 4.90(200 - y) + 11.60y leq 2,200 \)

Simplify:

\( 980 - 4.90y + 11.60y leq 2,200 \)

Combine like terms:

\( 980 + 6.70y leq 2,200 \)

Subtract 980 from both sides:

\( 6.70y leq 1,220 \)

Solve for \( y \):

\( y leq rac{1,220}{6.70} approx 182.09 \)

Since the number of candles must be an integer, the maximum number of large candles is 182.

Using the slope \( \frac{1}{3} \) and point \( (-3, 5) \) in the point-slope formula, the resulting equation is \( y = \frac{1}{3}x + 6 \).

The function \(h(x) = 0.8x\) represents a proportional decrease with respect to \(x\), where \(h(x)\) decreases as \(x\) increases. Therefore, 'Decreasing Linear' is the correct answer.

Since \( g(2) = 625 \), substitute into \( g(x) = 25 \cdot b^x \) to solve for \( b \): \( 25 \cdot b^2 = 625 \Rightarrow b^2 = 25 \Rightarrow b = 5 \). Now find \( g(\frac{1}{2}) \): \( g(\frac{1}{2}) = 25 \cdot 5^{\frac{1}{2}} = 25 \cdot \sqrt{5} = 25 \sqrt{5} \).

Dividing the equation by 36, completing the square, and simplifying gives n = 12.

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.

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.

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 \( f(x) = 100(0.70)^x \).

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.

The two equations are not multiples of each other, but after simplifying, they end up being parallel lines. The slopes are the same but the y-intercepts are different, which means the lines never intersect.

The leakage rate is 5 gallons per hour. Over one day (24 hours), the volume leaked is 5 * 24 = 120 gallons. Converting to pints (1 gallon = 8 pints), the answer is 960 pints.

Rewrite both equations in slope-intercept form. To have no solution, the slopes must be equal but the y-intercepts must differ. Solving, we find m = -6.

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

The lines have the same slope but different intercepts, indicating that they are parallel and do not intersect.

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.

Expanding the left side gives \( 5x + 15 \), which matches the right side. Therefore, the equation is true for all values of x, leading to infinitely many solutions.

Plug in the slope \( m = -2 \) and point \( (3, 7) \) into the point-slope formula to find the equation \( y = -2x + 13 \).

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.

Using the points, calculate the slope and equation of the line, then substitute \(x = q + 5\) to find \(b = -55\).

Using the quadratic formula, \(x = \frac{4 \pm \sqrt{16 + 20}}{2} = 2 \pm \sqrt{9}\). So, the solution can be written as \(2 + \sqrt{9}\) and the correct value of \(k\) is 9.

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

Using the quadratic formula, \(x = \frac{10 \pm \sqrt{100 - 8}}{2} = 5 \pm \sqrt{23}\). So, the solution can be written as \(5 + \sqrt{23}\) and the correct value of \(k\) is 23.

Isolate \(10a + 3b\) by multiplying both sides by \((10a + 3b)\), resulting in \(m = q(10a + 3b)\). Dividing by \(q\) gives \(10a + 3b = \frac{m}{q}\).

To find \( f(0) \), substitute \( 0 \) for \( x \): \( f(0) = 400(0.5)^0 \). Since \( (0.5)^0 = 1 \), the expression becomes \( 400 imes 1 = 400 \).
