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 \( m(3) = 4096 \), substitute into \( m(x) = 16 \cdot q^x \): \( 16 \cdot q^3 = 4096 \Rightarrow q^3 = 256 \Rightarrow q = 4 \). Now find \( m(\frac{1}{4}) \): \( m(\frac{1}{4}) = 16 \cdot 4^{\frac{1}{4}} = 16 \cdot \sqrt[4]{4} = 16 \cdot \sqrt{2} = 16 \sqrt{2} \).

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 \(x = -1\).

Start by setting up the equation: \( 24,000 = 3,000(2)^{8r} \). Divide both sides by 3,000 to obtain \( 8 = (2)^{8r} \). Taking the logarithm base 2 of both sides gives \( 3 = 8r \). Therefore, \( r = \frac{3}{8} \).

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

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 \( g(x) = 30(1.20)^x \).

The vertex of the function \( f(x) = \frac{1}{9}(x - 7)^2 + 3 \) occurs at \( (7, 3) \). This represents the minimum height of the metal ball. The vertex form of a quadratic function, \( a(x - h)^2 + k \), indicates the vertex as \( (h, k) \). Since \( h = 7 \) and \( k = 3 \), the minimum height is 3 inches above the ground.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

Calculate the slope using the two points and find the equation of the line. Substitute \(x = m - 4\) to find the y-intercept \(b = 45\).

Expanding the equation, we obtain \( 2x^2 - 8x + 12 = 12x - 6x^2 \). Rearranging terms, we get \( 8x^2 - 20x + 12 = 0 \). Using the quadratic formula, the sum of the solutions is given by \( -b/a \), where \( a = 8 \) and \( b = -20 \), which yields \( 20/8 = 5/2 \).

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

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.

Find the slope using the points, then derive the line's equation. Set \(x = n + 2\) to find \(b = 48\).

The second equation is just a multiple of the first. Dividing the second equation by -2 yields \( 5x + 4y = 16 \). Thus, the two lines are the same and intersect at infinitely many points.

Substitute \( (2, 2) \) into both inequalities. Both inequalities are satisfied.

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

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.

Data set B has higher frequencies around the center value (20) compared to Data set A, resulting in equal means for both data sets.

First, find the measure of angle N in radians: \( \frac{3\pi}{4} + \frac{\pi}{6} = \frac{11\pi}{12} \). Then, convert to degrees by multiplying by \( \frac{180}{\pi} \): \( \frac{11\pi}{12} \cdot \frac{180}{\pi} = 165 \) degrees.

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.

Rewrite \(f(x)\) in vertex form as \(-3(x - 2)^2 + 7\). The maximum of \(f(x)\) is at \(x = 2\), so \(g(x) = f(x - 6)\) shifts this maximum to \(x = 8\).

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.

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.

Using the quadratic formula, \(x = \frac{10 \pm \sqrt{100 - 8}}{2} = 5 \pm \sqrt{23}\). So, the solution can be written as \(5 + \sqrt{23}\) and the correct value of \(k\) is 23.

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.

The sum of the solutions of a polynomial equation can be determined using the relationship between the coefficients and the sum of the roots. For each factor, find the solutions and sum them. The given information specifies that the total sum of solutions is \( \frac{20}{3} \), which leads to solving for \( p \).

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 \( 300 imes 1 = 300 \).

Factor out the greatest common factor, \(2x\), from the expression: \(2x(x^2 + 9x + 16)\). Then factor \(x^2 + 9x + 16\) as \((x + 4)(x + 9)\). The smallest possible value of \(b\) is 4.

With \(p(x) = 0.75x\), the function decreases linearly as \(x\) increases, representing a consistent reduction in value. Hence, the answer is 'Decreasing Linear.'

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

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 \( d = 289 \).

With \( h(4) = 810 \), substitute into \( h(x) = 10 \cdot c^x \): \( 10 \cdot c^4 = 810 \Rightarrow c^4 = 81 \Rightarrow c = 3 \). Now find \( h(-1) \): \( h(-1) = 10 \cdot 3^{-1} = 10 \cdot \frac{1}{3} = \frac{10}{3} \).

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

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°.

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

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, \( k = 144 \).

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.
