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 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.

Substitute \( y = 24 \) into the equation: \( 3.5x + 7(24) = 140 \Rightarrow 3.5x + 168 = 140 \Rightarrow 3.5x = -28 \). Since \( x \) cannot be negative, the shelter cannot care for any cats, making this question tricky.

Plug in the slope \( m = -2 \) and point \( (3, 7) \) into the point-slope formula to find the equation \( y = -2x + 13 \).

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 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 half-life is 3 years, so the remaining quantity after \( x \) minutes is \( Q = 5 \cdot \left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{\frac{x}{3 \cdot 365 \cdot 24 \cdot 60}} \).

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.

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.'

We use the Pythagorean theorem: \( c^2 = 7^2 + 24^2 = 49 + 576 = 625 \). Therefore, \( c = \sqrt{625} = 25 \). Since the length is already in the form \( \sqrt{625} [/latex}, the value of [latex] d \) is 625.

The minimum value of \( y \) occurs at \( x = \frac{-b}{2a} \). Here, \( a = 1 \) and \( b = -8 \), so \( x = \frac{8}{2} = 4 \).

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 \(q = 25\).

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.

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

The population triples every hour, so the growth factor per hour is 3. Since there are 24 hours in a day, the population after \( x \) days is \( p = 1,000 \cdot 3^{24x} \).

Expanding the left side gives \( 5x + 15 \), which matches the right side. Therefore, the equation is true for all values of x, leading to infinitely many solutions.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

In the equation 4𝑛 + 25𝑚 = 1,150, the coefficient 4 corresponds to the bird sanctuary, meaning 𝑛 represents the number of nests per hectare in the bird sanctuary.

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 side lengths of square P are 20 times the side lengths of square Q, the area of square P is \( 20^2 = 400 \) times the area of square Q. Therefore, \( k = 400 \).

The vertex of the function \( f(x) = \frac{1}{8}(x - 6)^2 + 5 \) occurs at \( (6, 5) \). This represents the minimum height of the kite. The vertex form of a quadratic function, \( a(x - h)^2 + k \), indicates the vertex as \( (h, k) \). Since \( h = 6 \) and \( k = 5 \), the minimum height is 5 feet above the ground.

Congruent triangles have corresponding angles that are equal. Since \( L \) and \( O \) correspond, angle \( O \) must be 40°.

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.

Using elimination or substitution, we solve for \( y = 5 \).

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

Calculate the slope with the points provided, then derive the equation of the line. Set \(x = r - 2\) to solve for \(b = 32\).

Calculate the slope with the given points and determine the equation of the line. Substitute \(x = p - 6\) to find \(b = -41\).

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

Using the points, calculate the slope and equation of the line, then substitute \(x = q + 5\) to find \(b = -55\).

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.

Rewrite \(f(x)\) in vertex form by completing the square, yielding \(f(x) = 3(x + 4)^2 - 5\). The minimum of \(f(x)\) is at \(x = -4\), so \(g(x) = f(x - 4)\) shifts this to \(x = 0\).

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

To find the doubling time, set \( h(t) = 2 \cdot h(0) \) and solve for \( t \): \( 45,000 \cdot (1.04)^{t/200} = 90,000 \). Use logarithms to solve for \( t \) and convert to hours.

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.

The investment grows by 8% per month, so the monthly growth factor is 1.08. After \( x \) years, the equation is \( V = 10,000 \cdot 1.08^{12x} \).

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.

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 \(x = -1\).
