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 \(x = -3\).

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 \( 29/3 \).

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.

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.

Let the number of voters who voted in favor of the bill be w. According to the problem, 3 times as many voters voted against, so the number against is 3w. The report states that 18,000 more people voted against, so the equation is 3w = w + 18,000. Solving for w gives 9,000, and the number against is 3(9,000) = 27,000.

The lines have different slopes, indicating that they will intersect at exactly one point.

Substitute \( t = 30 \) into the equation: \( 6m + 2(30) = 180 \Rightarrow 6m + 60 = 180 \Rightarrow 6m = 120 \Rightarrow m = 20 \).

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.'

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.

To find the surface area of the cube, we need to determine its side length. The formula for the volume of a cube is \( V = s^3 \). Given \( V = 474552 \), solve for \( s \): \( s = \sqrt[3]{474552} \approx 78 \). The formula for surface area is \( 6s^2 \). Thus, the surface area is \( 6(78)^2 = 36,504 \) square units.

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.

The percentage can be calculated using the formula: \( \frac{62.5}{250} \times 100 = 25\% \).

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

Rewrite \(f(x)\) as \((x - 5)^2\). The minimum of \(f(x)\) is at \(x = 5\), so \(g(x) = f(x - 2)\) shifts this minimum to \(x = 7\).

Since the side lengths of square M are 15 times those of square N, the area of square M is \( 15^2 = 225 \) times the area of square N. Therefore, \( k = 225 \).

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.

To isolate \(7m + 5n\), multiply both sides by \((7m + 5n)\) to get \(k = p(7m + 5n)\), then divide by \(p\) to find \(7m + 5n = \frac{k}{p}\).

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

Both sides simplify to \( 3y - 9 \), which are identical. Therefore, the equation is true for all values of y, leading to infinitely many solutions.

Given \(\frac{m}{n} = 3\), rewrite as \(m = 3n\). Substitute into \(\frac{18m}{pn} = 3\) to get \(\frac{18(3n)}{pn} = 3\). Simplify to \(\frac{54n}{pn} = 3\), then cancel \(n\) to find \(p = 18\).

Dividing the equation by 9, completing the square, and simplifying gives n = 6.

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

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.

Let the number of people who voted against the proposal be x. According to the problem, 3 times as many people voted in favor, so the number in favor is 3x. The social media post states that 15,000 more people voted in favor, so the equation is 3x = x + 15,000. Solving for x gives 7,500.

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, \( r = \frac{3}{8} \).

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

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 \( \frac{9}{5} \times 3.00 = 5.40 \).

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.

For a quadratic in the form \( y = ax^2 + bx + c \), the minimum or maximum value of \( y \) occurs at \( x = \frac{-b}{2a} \). Here, \( a = 1 \) and \( b = -10 \), so \( x = \frac{10}{2} = 5 \).

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.

The population doubles every 30 minutes, so it doubles twice per hour. After \( x \) hours, the population grows by a factor of \( 2^{2x} \).

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.

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

Rewrite \(f(x)\) in vertex form by completing the square, yielding \(f(x) = 3(x + 4)^2 - 5\). The minimum of \(f(x)\) is at \(x = -4\), so \(g(x) = f(x - 4)\) shifts this to \(x = 0\).

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 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.

Calculate percentages: Candidate P received \( \frac{725}{1000} = 0.725 \), or 72.5%. Candidate Q received \( \frac{275}{1000} = 0.275 \), or 27.5%. If 8,000 people vote, Candidate P would receive \( 0.725 \times 8000 = 5800 \) votes, and Candidate Q \( 0.275 \times 8000 = 2200 \) votes. The difference is \( 5800 - 2200 = 3600 \) votes.

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 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.

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

Only \( (3, 3) \) is a solution that satisfies both equations.

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.

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