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

To find the doubling time, set \( g(t) = 2 \cdot g(0) \). Thus, \( 20,000 \cdot (1.05)^{t/300} = 40,000 \). Taking logarithms, isolate \( t \) and convert the answer to hours.

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.

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.

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.

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.

To cover the walls twice, double the total area \(w\) to get \(2w\). Since each gallon covers 250 square feet, divide \(2w\) by 250 to get \(P = \frac{w}{125}\).

The system has no solution when the slopes are the same but the lines have different intercepts. Solving this condition gives n = 45.

Both data sets have their highest frequency around 24, which is the middle value. This symmetry implies that the mean of both data sets is approximately the same.

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.

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.

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 cover the walls twice, double the total area \(w\) to get \(2w\). Since each gallon covers 150 square feet, divide \(2w\) by 150 to get the equation \(P = \frac{w}{75}\).

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 \( p \).

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.

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

Set up the equation \( 24,000 = 1,500(2)^{12r} \). Divide both sides by 1,500 to obtain \( 16 = (2)^{12r} \). Taking the logarithm base 2 of both sides yields \( 4 = 12r \). Therefore, \( r = \frac{1}{3} \).

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.

Factor out the greatest common factor, \(4x\), from the expression: \(4x(x^2 + 8x + 24)\). Then factor \(x^2 + 8x + 24\) as \((x + 4)(x + 6)\). The smallest possible value of \(b\) is 4.

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

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

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

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

Since \(g(x) = f(x+1) = 6(10)^{x+1} = 6 \cdot 10 \cdot (10)^x = 60(10)^x\), the correct answer is g(x) = 60(10)^x.

The two lines have the same slope but different intercepts, which means they are parallel and do not intersect at any point. Thus, the answer is zero points of intersection.

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.

First, find the measure of angle Y in radians: \( \frac{\pi}{6} + \frac{\pi}{3} = \frac{\pi}{2} \). Then, convert to degrees by multiplying by \( \frac{180}{\pi} \): \( \frac{\pi}{2} \cdot \frac{180}{\pi} = 90 \) degrees.

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 \( p \).

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.

The percentage can be calculated using the formula: \( \frac{250}{500} \times 100 = 50\% \).

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.

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 \( g(\frac{1}{2}) \): \( g(\frac{1}{2}) = 25 \cdot 5^{\frac{1}{2}} = 25 \cdot \sqrt{5} = 25 \sqrt{5} \).

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.

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

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 \( m(\frac{1}{4}) \): \( m(\frac{1}{4}) = 16 \cdot 4^{\frac{1}{4}} = 16 \cdot \sqrt[4]{4} = 16 \cdot \sqrt{2} = 16 \sqrt{2} \).

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 \( x = \frac{10}{2} = 5 \).

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 \( 20/8 = 5/2 \).

Since the function increases by 50%, it becomes 1.50 times its previous value at each step. Thus, the multiplier for growth is 1.50. Therefore, the correct equation is \( k(x) = 80(1.50)^x \).

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.

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 vertex of the function \( f(x) = \frac{1}{8}(x - 6)^2 + 5 \) occurs at \( (6, 5) \). This represents the minimum height of the kite. The vertex form of a quadratic function, \( a(x - h)^2 + k \), indicates the vertex as \( (h, k) \). Since \( h = 6 \) and \( k = 5 \), the minimum height is 5 feet above the ground.

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.

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