Dividing the equation by 9, completing the square, and simplifying gives n = 6.

For a quadratic in the form \( y = ax^2 + bx + c \), the minimum or maximum value of \( y \) occurs at \( x = \frac{-b}{2a} \). Here, \( a = 1 \) and \( b = -10 \), so \( x = \frac{10}{2} = 5 \).

Since the triangles are similar, corresponding angles have the same trigonometric ratios. Thus, \( \sin(D) = \sin(A) = \frac{120}{125} \).

Substitute \( s = 10 \) into the equation: \( 4p + 2(10) = 100 \Rightarrow 4p + 20 = 100 \Rightarrow 4p = 80 \Rightarrow p = 20 \).

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

Substitute \( (-14, 0) \) into both inequalities. Both inequalities are satisfied.

To cover the walls twice, double the total area \(w\) to get \(2w\). Since each gallon covers 200 square feet, divide \(2w\) by 200 to get \(P = \frac{w}{100}\).

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.

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.

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 rate of leakage is 7 milliliters per minute. Over one hour (60 minutes), the volume leaked is 7 * 60 = 420 milliliters. Converting to liters (1 liter = 1000 mL), the answer is 0.42 liters.

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 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.

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

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.

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 \( f(3) = 1024 \), substitute into \( f(x) = 8 \cdot d^x \): \( 8 \cdot d^3 = 1024 \Rightarrow d^3 = 128 \Rightarrow d = 4 \). Now find \( f(-2) \): \( f(-2) = 8 \cdot 4^{-2} = 8 \cdot \frac{1}{16} = 0.5 \).

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

Rewriting the equation: \( x^2 + x - 56 = 4x^2 - 28x \). Rearranging terms, we get \( -3x^2 + 29x - 56 = 0 \). Solving using the quadratic formula, the sum of the solutions is given by \( -b/a \), where \( a = -3 \) and \( b = 29 \), which yields \( 29/3 \).

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

With side lengths of square X being 50 times those of square Y, the area of square X is \( 50^2 = 2500 \) times the area of square Y. Thus, \( k = 2500 \).

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.

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

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

Since \( \triangle PQR \) and \( \triangle STU \) are congruent, corresponding angles are equal. Angle \( Q \) and \( T \) are right angles, so each measures 90°. Therefore, angle \( U \) must be equal to angle \( P \), which is 25°.

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

Using the quadratic formula, \(x = \frac{4 \pm \sqrt{16 + 20}}{2} = 2 \pm \sqrt{9}\). So, the solution can be written as \(2 + \sqrt{9}\) and the correct value of \(k\) is 9.

The function increases by 20%, which means it becomes 1.20 times its previous value at each step. The multiplier is 1.20. Therefore, the correct equation is \( g(x) = 30(1.20)^x \).

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.

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 \( 18/7 \).

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.

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

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

Since the decay factor is 0.70 annually, this translates to a 30% decrease per year, so \(q = 30\).

The population doubles every 30 minutes, so it doubles twice per hour. After \( x \) hours, the population grows by a factor of \( 2^{2x} \).

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, \( r = \frac{3}{5} \).

The drainage rate is 10 liters per minute. Over 2 hours (120 minutes), the volume drained is 10 * 120 = 1200 liters. Converting to milliliters (1 liter = 1000 mL), the answer is 1,200,000 mL.

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

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 \( x \) 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 \( 300 imes 1 = 300 \).

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.

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

Given \(\frac{m}{n} = 3\), rewrite as \(m = 3n\). Substitute into \(\frac{18m}{pn} = 3\) to get \(\frac{18(3n)}{pn} = 3\). Simplify to \(\frac{54n}{pn} = 3\), then cancel \(n\) to find \(p = 18\).
