Using the quadratic formula, \(x = \frac{8 \pm \sqrt{64 - 28}}{2} = 4 \pm \sqrt{9}\). So, the solution can be written as \(4 + \sqrt{9}\) and the correct value of \(k\) is 9.

In the function k(x) = -8x + 64, the y-intercept (where x = 0) represents the initial amount of concrete the worker had before building any foundations. When x = 0, k(0) = 64, indicating that the worker started with 64 cubic feet of concrete.

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.

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

The minimum value of \( y \) occurs at \( x = \frac{-b}{2a} \), giving \( x = \frac{6}{2} = 3 \).

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 \(p = 55\).

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.

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

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

The sum of the solutions is calculated separately for each factor. Using the given total sum of \( \frac{25}{2} \), solve for the value of \( p \).

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, 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.

To find \( p \): \( 50 = \frac{p}{100} \times 80 \implies p = \frac{50 \times 100}{80} = 62.5 \). Calculate \( 62.5 \% \) of \( 50 \): \( \frac{62.5}{100} \times 50 = 31.25 \).

Since triangles \( \triangle ABC \) and \( \triangle DEF \) are congruent, angle \( C \) corresponds to angle \( F \). Therefore, angle \( F \) must be 55°.

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 \( \frac{9}{5} \times 3.00 = 5.40 \).

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.

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

Since the triangles are congruent, angle \( Z \) is equal to angle \( C \), so the measure of angle \( C \) is 70°.

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 two lines are parallel because their slopes are equal. Dividing the first equation by 2 yields \( 3.5x + y = 7.5 \). Since this differs from the second equation, the lines are parallel and do not intersect.

The percentage can be calculated using the formula: \( \frac{120}{400} \times 100 = 30\% \).

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

Substitute \( (-1, 3) \) into both inequalities. Both inequalities are satisfied.

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.

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

The decay factor is 0.75 per half-year, which means it decays by 25% every six months. Over a year, this represents a 25% drop, so \(q = 25\).

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.

Since both sides of the equation are identical, the equation is true for all values of x. Therefore, there are infinitely many solutions.

Both sides simplify to \( 3y - 9 \), which are identical. Therefore, the equation is true for all values of y, leading to infinitely many solutions.

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

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 \(m = 34\).

To have no real solution, the discriminant of \(x(q x - 64) + 20 = 0\) must be negative. Solving gives \(\)q^2 < 16[/latex], so the smallest integer for [latex]q[/latex] is 4.

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

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 \(x = 7\).

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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, \( r = \frac{1}{3} \).

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

Factor out the greatest common factor, \(5x\), from the expression: \(5x(x^2 + 7x + 12)\). Then factor \(x^2 + 7x + 12\) as \((x + 3)(x + 4)\). The smallest possible value of \(b\) is 3.

The function \(q(x) = 1.3x\) represents a proportional increase, showing a steady, linear growth with respect to \(x\). Therefore, 'Increasing Linear' is correct.
