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

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.

Expanding the equation, we obtain \( 2x^2 - 8x + 12 = 12x - 6x^2 \). Rearranging terms, we get \( 8x^2 - 20x + 12 = 0 \). Using the quadratic formula, the sum of the solutions is given by \( -b/a \), where \( a = 8 \) and \( b = -20 \), which yields \( 20/8 = 5/2 \).

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.

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

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

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.

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 find \( p \), use the equation: \( 39 = \frac{p}{100} \times 65 \Rightarrow p = \frac{39 \times 100}{65} = 60 \). Then, calculate \( 60 \% \) of \( 39 \): \( \frac{60}{100} \times 39 = 23.4 \).

With \( h(4) = 810 \), substitute into \( h(x) = 10 \cdot c^x \): \( 10 \cdot c^4 = 810 \Rightarrow c^4 = 81 \Rightarrow c = 3 \). Now find \( h(-1) \): \( h(-1) = 10 \cdot 3^{-1} = 10 \cdot \frac{1}{3} = \frac{10}{3} \).

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.

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

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, \( k = 2500 \).

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.

Since \( m(3) = 4096 \), substitute into \( m(x) = 16 \cdot q^x \): \( 16 \cdot q^3 = 4096 \Rightarrow q^3 = 256 \Rightarrow q = 4 \). Now find \( m(\frac{1}{4}) \): \( m(\frac{1}{4}) = 16 \cdot 4^{\frac{1}{4}} = 16 \cdot \sqrt[4]{4} = 16 \cdot \sqrt{2} = 16 \sqrt{2} \).

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

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

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

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 \(x = 7\).

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.

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, \( k = 225 \).

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.

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

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.

Substitute \( s = 10 \) into the equation: \( 4p + 2(10) = 100 \Rightarrow 4p + 20 = 100 \Rightarrow 4p = 80 \Rightarrow p = 20 \).

Since \(g(x) = f(x+4) = 7(2)^{x+4} = 7 \cdot 16 \cdot (2)^x = 112(2)^x\), the correct answer is g(x) = 112(2)^x.

To find \( a \), set \( g(x) = 0 \) and solve: \( -2x + 10 = 0 Rightarrow x = 5 \), so \( a = 5 \). For the y-intercept \( b \), set \( x = 0 \): \( g(0) = 10 \). Therefore, \( a + b = 5 + 10 = 15 \).

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

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

Let the number of people who voted against the proposal be y. According to the problem, twice as many people voted in favor, so the number in favor is 2y. The report states that 6,000 more residents voted in favor, so the equation is 2y = y + 6,000. Solving for y gives 6,000.

Substitute values from each answer choice into both equations. Only \( (5, 10) \) satisfies both equations.

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.

The population grows by 2% annually, so the growth factor is 1.02. Since \( x \) is in seconds, we convert it to years by dividing by \( 365 \cdot 24 \cdot 60 \cdot 60 \). The equation is \( p = 50,000 \cdot 1.02^{\frac{x}{365 \cdot 24 \cdot 60 \cdot 60}} \).

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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 \(m = 56\).

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 \( 29/3 \).

To find \( p \): \( 120 = \frac{p}{100} \times 200 \implies p = \frac{120 \times 100}{200} = 60 \). Calculate \( 60 \% \) of \( 120 \): \( \frac{60}{100} \times 120 = 72 \).
