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.

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 \( p \).

To isolate \(5x + 6y\), multiply both sides by \((5x + 6y)\), resulting in \(n = t(5x + 6y)\). Dividing by \(t\) gives \(5x + 6y = \frac{n}{t}\).

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.

Testing each pair shows that only \( (4, 5) \) satisfies both equations.

To isolate \(3y + 8z\), multiply both sides by \((3y + 8z)\) to obtain \(h = x(3y + 8z)\), then divide by \(x\) to yield \(3y + 8z = \frac{h}{x}\).

First, find the measure of angle Q in radians: \( \frac{5\pi}{6} + \frac{\pi}{4} = \frac{14\pi}{12} = \frac{7\pi}{6} \). Then, convert to degrees by multiplying by \( \frac{180}{\pi} \): \( \frac{7\pi}{6} \cdot \frac{180}{\pi} = 210 \) degrees.

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

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

Solving by elimination or substitution, we find that \( y = 14 \).

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.

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

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.

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

The congruence of triangles implies that angle \( R \) is equal to angle \( L \), so the measure of angle \( R \) is 30°.

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.

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

Isolate \(10a + 3b\) by multiplying both sides by \((10a + 3b)\), resulting in \(m = q(10a + 3b)\). Dividing by \(q\) gives \(10a + 3b = \frac{m}{q}\).

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

Since \(g(x) = f(x+3) = 3(6)^{x+3} = 3 \cdot 216 \cdot (6)^x = 648(6)^x\), the correct answer is g(x) = 648(6)^x.

Calculate the slope with the given points and determine the equation of the line. Substitute \(x = p - 6\) to find \(b = -41\).

Factor out the greatest common factor, \(2x\), from the expression: \(2x(x^2 + 9x + 16)\). Then factor \(x^2 + 9x + 16\) as \((x + 4)(x + 9)\). The smallest possible value of \(b\) is 4.

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.

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.

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.

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

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 \( 18/7 \).

For the system to have no solution, the slopes must be equal. Converting both equations to slope-intercept form reveals that k must equal -14.

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

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

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.

Since \(\frac{r}{s} = 6\), we get \(r = 6s\). Substitute into \(\frac{48r}{ks} = 6\) to obtain \(\frac{48(6s)}{ks} = 6\). Simplify to \(\frac{288s}{ks} = 6\), cancel \(s\) and solve for \(k = 48\).

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

To find the number of votes Angel Cruz is expected to win by, first determine the percentage of votes each candidate received. Angel received \( \frac{483}{803} \approx 0.601 \), or 60.1%. Terry received \( \frac{320}{803} \approx 0.399 \), or 39.9%. If 6,424 people vote, Angel would receive \( 0.601 \times 6424 \approx 3864 \) votes and Terry would receive \( 0.399 \times 6424 \approx 2560 \) votes. The difference is \( 3864 - 2560 = 1304 \) votes.

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.

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

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 function \(h(x) = 0.8x\) represents a proportional decrease with respect to \(x\), where \(h(x)\) decreases as \(x\) increases. Therefore, 'Decreasing Linear' is the correct answer.

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.

Since the triangles are similar, corresponding angles have equal trigonometric ratios, so \( \sin(U) = \sin(R) = \frac{40}{41} \).

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 \(x = -3\).

Since the rate of drainage is 3 liters per second, over one minute (60 seconds), the volume drained would be 3 * 60 = 180 liters. Converting to milliliters (1 liter = 1000 mL), the answer is 180,000 mL.

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.'
