Let the number of small candles be represented by \( x \), and the number of large candles by \( y \). The total number of candles is at least 200, so we have the inequality:

\( x + y geq 200 \).

The budget constraint is that the total cost must not exceed $2,200. Therefore, we have the equation:

\( 4.90x + 11.60y leq 2,200 \).

We want to maximize the number of large candles, \( y \). First, solve for \( x \) in terms of \( y \) using the inequality:

\( x = 200 - y \).

Substitute this into the budget constraint:

\( 4.90(200 - y) + 11.60y leq 2,200 \)

Simplify:

\( 980 - 4.90y + 11.60y leq 2,200 \)

Combine like terms:

\( 980 + 6.70y leq 2,200 \)

Subtract 980 from both sides:

\( 6.70y leq 1,220 \)

Solve for \( y \):

\( y leq rac{1,220}{6.70} approx 182.09 \)

Since the number of candles must be an integer, the maximum number of large candles is 182.

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

The change in degrees Fahrenheit is determined by multiplying the temperature increase in kelvins by \( \frac{9}{5} \), since the \( x \) term in the function is being multiplied by this factor. Therefore, the increase in Fahrenheit temperature is \( \frac{9}{5} \times 2.10 = 3.78 \).

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

Since \(g(x) = f(x+3) = 5(3)^{x+3} = 5 \cdot 27 \cdot (3)^x = 135(3)^x\), the correct answer is g(x) = 135(3)^x.

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

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.

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.

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 \( p = 50,000 \cdot 1.02^{\frac{x}{365 \cdot 24 \cdot 60 \cdot 60}} \).

To find \( f(0) \), substitute \( 0 \) for \( x \): \( f(0) = 500(0.05)^0 \). Since \( (0.05)^0 = 1 \), the expression becomes \( 500 imes 1 = 500 \).

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

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.

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

The change in degrees Fahrenheit is determined by multiplying the temperature increase in kelvins by \( \frac{9}{5} \), since the \( x \) term in the function is being multiplied by this factor. Therefore, the increase in Fahrenheit temperature is \( \frac{9}{5} \times 3.00 = 5.40 \).

Substitute \( c = 12 \) into the equation: \( 1.5a + 4.5(12) = 90 \Rightarrow 1.5a + 54 = 90 \Rightarrow 1.5a = 36 \Rightarrow a = 24 \).

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

We use the Pythagorean theorem: \( c^2 = 16^2 + 30^2 = 256 + 900 = 1156 \). Therefore, \( c = \sqrt{1156} = 34 \). The hypotenuse can be written as \( 2\sqrt{289} \), so \( d = 289 \).

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.

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.

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 point-slope form \( y - y_1 = m(x - x_1) \) with the slope \( m = \frac{3}{5} \) and point \( (2, -4) \), the resulting equation is \( y = \frac{3}{5}x - \frac{22}{5} \).

The change in degrees Fahrenheit is determined by multiplying the temperature increase in kelvins by \( \frac{9}{5} \), since the \( x \) term in the function is being multiplied by this factor. Therefore, the increase in Fahrenheit temperature is \( \frac{9}{5} \times 1.50 = 2.70 \).

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

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 find \( f(0) \), substitute \( 0 \) for \( x \) in the function: \( f(0) = 300(0.2)^0 \). Since any non-zero number raised to the power of \( 0 \) is \( 1 \), the expression becomes \( 300 imes 1 = 300 \).

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

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

Calculate the sum of the solutions for each factor separately. Use the given total sum of 10 to find \( p \).

We use the Pythagorean theorem: \( c^2 = 9^2 + 12^2 = 81 + 144 = 225 \). Therefore, \( c = \sqrt{225} = 15 \). The hypotenuse can be written as \( 3\sqrt{25} \), so \( d = 25 \).

Rewrite both equations in slope-intercept form. To have no solution, the slopes must be equal but the y-intercepts must differ. Solving, we find m = -6.

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.
