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

To find the area in square miles, divide by \(1760^2\): \(23,184,000 / 3,097,600 = 7.48\) square miles.

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.

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

For a quadratic equation, the minimum value occurs at \( x = \frac{-b}{2a} \). Here, \( x = \frac{16}{2} = 8 \).

In the function j(x) = -0.5x + 10, the y-intercept (where x = 0) represents the initial amount of water the runner had before starting the marathon. When x = 0, j(0) = 10, indicating that the runner started with 10 liters of water.

Factor out the greatest common factor, \(3x\), from the expression: \(3x(x^2 + 9x + 18)\). Then factor \(x^2 + 9x + 18\) as \((x + 3)(x + 6)\). The smallest possible value of \(b\) is 3.

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.

The vertex of the function \( f(x) = \frac{1}{9}(x - 7)^2 + 3 \) occurs at \( (7, 3) \). This represents the minimum height of the metal ball. The vertex form of a quadratic function, \( a(x - h)^2 + k \), indicates the vertex as \( (h, k) \). Since \( h = 7 \) and \( k = 3 \), the minimum height is 3 inches above the ground.

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.

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.'

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 \( p \).

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.

The mean of each data set is centered around 15, as both data sets have symmetric distributions around this value.

Using \( P = 40,000 \) and \( C = 5,000 \), set up the equation \( 40,000 = 5,000(2)^{5r} \). Dividing both sides by 5,000 gives \( 8 = (2)^{5r} \). Taking the logarithm base 2 of both sides yields \( 3 = 5r \). Therefore, \( r = \frac{3}{5} \).

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

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.

Substitute \( (2, 2) \) into both inequalities. Both inequalities are satisfied.

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.

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.

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

Data set A is skewed toward lower values, while data set B is skewed toward higher values. Therefore, the mean of Data set A is less than the mean of Data set B.

The sum of the solutions of a polynomial equation can be determined using the relationship between the coefficients and the sum of the roots. For each factor, find the solutions and sum them. The given information specifies that the total sum of solutions is \( \frac{20}{3} \), which leads to solving for \( p \).

Expanding the equation, we obtain \( 2x^2 - 3x + 15 = 15x - 5x^2 \). Rearranging terms, we get \( 7x^2 - 18x + 15 = 0 \). Using the quadratic formula, the sum of the solutions is given by \( -b/a \), where \( a = 7 \) and \( b = -18 \), which yields \( 18/7 \).

In the equation 5𝑏 + 40𝑐 = 2,450, the coefficient 5 corresponds to the sports field, meaning 𝑏 represents the number of benches per acre in the sports field.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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°.

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 decay factor is 0.75 per half-year, which means it decays by 25% every six months. Over a year, this represents a 25% drop, so \(q = 25\).

With the side lengths of square R being 12 times those of square S, the area of square R is \( 12^2 = 144 \) times the area of square S. Thus, \( k = 144 \).

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

Let the number of people who voted in favor of the measure be z. According to the problem, 4 times as many people voted against, so the number against is 4z. The survey states that 12,000 more people voted against, so the equation is 4z = z + 12,000. Solving for z gives 4,000.

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

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.

In the equation 6𝑣 + 12𝑓 = 216, the coefficient 6 corresponds to the vegetable patch, meaning 𝑣 represents the number of plants per square meter in the vegetable patch.

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.

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