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 \( a + b = 3 - 15 = -12 \).

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

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

In the equation 3𝑠 + 50𝑡 = 8,000, the coefficient 3 corresponds to the trail, meaning 𝑠 represents the total number of streetlights per kilometer along the trail.

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 \(x = -1\).

From \(\frac{x}{y} = 8\), we know \(x = 8y\). Substitute into \(\frac{56x}{my} = 8\) to get \(\frac{56(8y)}{my} = 8\). Simplify to \(\frac{448y}{my} = 8\), cancel \(y\) and solve to find \(m = 56\).

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

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.

The values and frequencies are symmetric across the two data sets, which means the mean values are the same.

Convert the area to square miles by dividing by \(1760^2\): \(10,240,000 / 3,097,600 = 3.31\) square miles.

We use the Pythagorean theorem: \( c^2 = 5^2 + 12^2 = 25 + 144 = 169 \). Therefore, \( c = \sqrt{169} = 13 \). Since the length is already in the form \( \sqrt{169} [/latex}, the value of [latex] d \) is 169.

To convert from square yards to square miles, divide the area by \(1760^2\): \(5,904,900 / 3,097,600 = 1.91\) square miles.

The volume of a cube is given by \( V = s^3 \). Here, \( V = 64000 \), so \( s = \sqrt[3]{64000} = 40 \). The surface area is \( 6s^2 \). Therefore, the surface area is \( 6(40)^2 = 9600 \) square units.

Using \( P = 40,000 \) and \( C = 5,000 \), set up the equation \( 40,000 = 5,000(2)^{5r} \). Dividing both sides by 5,000 gives \( 8 = (2)^{5r} \). Taking the logarithm base 2 of both sides yields \( 3 = 5r \). Therefore, \( r = \frac{3}{5} \).

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 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.

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.

Let the number of people who voted in favor of the policy be x. According to the problem, 5 times as many people voted against it, so the number against is 5x. The article states that 40,000 more people voted against it, so the equation is 5x = x + 40,000. Solving for x gives 10,000.

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, \( k = 225 \).

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

In the equation 5𝑏 + 40𝑐 = 2,450, the coefficient 5 corresponds to the sports field, meaning 𝑏 represents the number of benches per acre in the sports field.

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.

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 \(q = 25\).

Since \( j(5) = 15625 \), substitute into \( j(x) = 50 \cdot k^x \): \( 50 \cdot k^5 = 15625 \Rightarrow k^5 = 312.5 \Rightarrow k = 5 \). Now find \( j(0.5) \): \( j(0.5) = 50 \cdot 5^{0.5} = 50 \cdot \sqrt{5} = 50 \sqrt{5} \).

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.

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

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.

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 \(x = -3\).

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.

Factor out the greatest common factor, \(6x\), from the expression: \(6x(x^2 + 4x + 5)\). Then factor \(x^2 + 4x + 5\) as \((x + 1)(x + 5)\). The smallest possible value of \(b\) is 1.

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

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.

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 \( \frac{9}{5} \times 1.50 = 2.70 \).

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 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 \(P = \frac{w}{75}\).

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

Calculate the percentages: Candidate A received \( \frac{600}{1000} = 0.6 \), or 60%. Candidate B received \( \frac{400}{1000} = 0.4 \), or 40%. If 10,000 people vote, Candidate A is expected to receive \( 0.6 \times 10000 = 6000 \) votes, and Candidate B \( 0.4 \times 10000 = 4000 \) votes. The difference is \( 6000 - 4000 = 2000 \) votes.

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

Start by setting up the equation: \( 32,000 = 4,000(2)^{3r} \). Divide both sides by 4,000 to obtain \( 8 = (2)^{3r} \). Taking the logarithm base 2 of both sides yields \( 3 = 3r \). Therefore, \( r = 1 \).

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.

Expanding the equation, we obtain \( 2x^2 + 3x - 9 = 4x^2 - 24x \). Rearranging terms, we get \( -2x^2 + 27x - 9 = 0 \). Using the quadratic formula, the sum of the solutions is given by \( -b/a \), where \( a = -2 \) and \( b = 27 \), which yields \( 27/2 \).

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 \( \frac{9}{5} \times 4.50 = 8.10 \).

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