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.

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.

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.

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.

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 decay factor is 0.68 every half-year, which means it decays by 32% each six months. This translates to approximately a 55% annual decay rate, so \(p = 55\).

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

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.

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 area in square miles, divide by \(1760^2\): \(8,673,280 / 3,097,600 = 2.8\) square miles.

In the function f(x) = -5x + 30, the y-intercept (where x = 0) represents the initial amount of juice Caleb had before he made any popsicles. When x = 0, f(0) = 30, indicating that Caleb started with 30 fluid ounces of juice.

The decay factor is 0.90 per three months, equating to a 10% drop per quarter. After one year, this approximates to a 34% annual decay rate, so \(m = 34\).

In the function j(x) = -0.5x + 10, the y-intercept (where x = 0) represents the initial amount of water the runner had before starting the marathon. When x = 0, j(0) = 10, indicating that the runner started with 10 liters of water.

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

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, \( k = 225 \).

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

With the side lengths of square R being 12 times those of square S, the area of square R is \( 12^2 = 144 \) times the area of square S. Thus, \( k = 144 \).

First, find the measure of angle T in radians: \( \frac{2\pi}{3} + \frac{\pi}{4} = \frac{11\pi}{12} \). Then, convert to degrees by multiplying by \( \frac{180}{\pi} \): \( \frac{11\pi}{12} \cdot \frac{180}{\pi} = 165 \) degrees.

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.'

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 volume of a cube is \( V = s^3 \). Given \( V = 343 \), find \( s = \sqrt[3]{343} = 7 \). The surface area formula is \( 6s^2 \). Therefore, the surface area is \( 6(7)^2 = 294 \) square units.

To find the doubling time, solve \( j(t) = 2 \cdot j(0) \), leading to \( 100,000 \cdot (1.03)^{t/350} = 200,000 \). Taking logarithms of both sides allows solving for \( t \) and then converting to hours.

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

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

The percentage can be calculated using the formula: \( \frac{350}{700} \times 100 = 50\% \).

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

Rewrite \(f(x)\) in vertex form as \(5(x - 2)^2 + 75\). The minimum of \(f(x)\) is at \(x = 2\), so \(g(x) = f(x + 3)\) shifts this to \(x = -1\).

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

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 \( 18/7 \).

To find the surface area of the cube, we need to determine its side length. The formula for the volume of a cube is \( V = s^3 \). Given \( V = 474552 \), solve for \( s \): \( s = \sqrt[3]{474552} \approx 78 \). The formula for surface area is \( 6s^2 \). Thus, the surface area is \( 6(78)^2 = 36,504 \) square units.

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.

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

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

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

Only \( (2, 6) \) satisfies both equations.

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

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

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

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 isolate \(2p + 9q\), multiply both sides by \((2p + 9q)\), resulting in \(g = w(2p + 9q)\). Dividing by \(w\) gives \(2p + 9q = \frac{g}{w}\).

The vertex of the function \( f(x) = \frac{1}{4}(x - 8)^2 + 6 \) occurs at \( (8, 6) \). This represents the minimum height of the drone. The vertex form of a quadratic function, \( a(x - h)^2 + k \), indicates the vertex as \( (h, k) \). Since \( h = 8 \) and \( k = 6 \), the minimum height is 6 meters above the ground.
