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.

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

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.

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, \( k = 400 \).

To cover the walls twice, double the total area \(w\) to get \(2w\). Since each gallon covers 200 square feet, divide \(2w\) by 200 to get \(P = \frac{w}{100}\).

After testing the answer choices, only \( (1, 0) \) satisfies both equations.

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 \(q = 25\).

Since the triangles are similar, corresponding angles have the same trigonometric ratios. Thus, \( \sin(E) = \sin(B) = \frac{9}{15} \).

For the system to have no solution, the lines must be parallel. This means their slopes must be equal. Rewrite each equation in slope-intercept form to compare slopes, leading to k = 5.

Substitute \( y = 24 \) into the equation: \( 3.5x + 7(24) = 140 \Rightarrow 3.5x + 168 = 140 \Rightarrow 3.5x = -28 \). Since \( x \) cannot be negative, the shelter cannot care for any cats, making this question tricky.

Multiplying the first equation by -2 results in \( -2x + 8y = -6 \), which matches the second equation. Thus, the lines are the same, intersecting at infinitely many points.

To have no real solution, the discriminant of \(x(r x - 120) + 64 = 0\) must be negative. Solving gives \(\)r^2 < 64[/latex], so the smallest integer for [latex]r[/latex] is 8.

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

To find \( a \), set \( f(x) = 0 \) and solve for \( x \): \( 5x - 15 = 0 Rightarrow x = 3 \). The x-intercept is \( (3, 0) \), so \( a = 3 \). The y-intercept \( b \) is found by setting \( x = 0 \): \( f(0) = -15 \), so \( b = -15 \). Then \( a + b = 3 - 15 = -12 \).

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 \( f(0) \), substitute \( 0 \) for \( x \): \( f(0) = 250(0.4)^0 \). Since \( (0.4)^0 = 1 \), the expression becomes \( 250 imes 1 = 250 \).

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

To find the doubling time, set \( h(t) = 2 \cdot h(0) \) and solve for \( t \): \( 45,000 \cdot (1.04)^{t/200} = 90,000 \). Use logarithms to solve for \( t \) and convert to hours.

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.

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

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

The rate of leakage is 7 milliliters per minute. Over one hour (60 minutes), the volume leaked is 7 * 60 = 420 milliliters. Converting to liters (1 liter = 1000 mL), the answer is 0.42 liters.

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.

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.

Since \(\frac{c}{d} = 2\), we have \(c = 2d\). Substitute into \(\frac{40c}{qd} = 2\) to get \(\frac{40(2d)}{qd} = 2\). Simplify to \(\frac{80d}{qd} = 2\), cancel \(d\) and solve to find \(q = 40\).

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.

Since the decay factor is 0.82 per quarter, this gives a 18% decrease each quarter. Calculating this for a year results in approximately a 51% annual decay rate, so \(r = 51\).

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, \( k = 225 \).

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.

In the equation 3𝑠 + 50𝑡 = 8,000, the coefficient 3 corresponds to the trail, meaning 𝑠 represents the total number of streetlights per kilometer along the trail.

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

To find \( a \), set \( p(x) = 0 \): \( 3x + 9 = 0 Rightarrow x = -3 \). Thus, \( a = -3 \). For \( b \), evaluate \( p(0) = 9 \). Therefore, \( a + b = -3 + 9 = 6 \).

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 \( 29/3 \).

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

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 \(P = \frac{w}{90}\).

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

To find the surface area, first find the side length using \( V = s^3 \). Given \( V = 27000 \), find \( s = \sqrt[3]{27000} = 30 \). The surface area is given by \( 6s^2 \). Therefore, the surface area is \( 6(30)^2 = 5400 \) square units.

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

To find \( p \): \( 75 = \frac{p}{100} \times 150 \implies p = \frac{75 \times 100}{150} = 50 \). Calculate \( 50 \% \) of \( 75 \): \( \frac{50}{100} \times 75 = 37.5 \).

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

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

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.'

Calculate the percentages: Candidate A received \( \frac{600}{1000} = 0.6 \), or 60%. Candidate B received \( \frac{400}{1000} = 0.4 \), or 40%. If 10,000 people vote, Candidate A is expected to receive \( 0.6 \times 10000 = 6000 \) votes, and Candidate B \( 0.4 \times 10000 = 4000 \) votes. The difference is \( 6000 - 4000 = 2000 \) votes.
