Here's a breakdown of the answers to your questions:

### Question 1
The expression is: \(\sqrt{32} + \sqrt{2}\).
\[
\sqrt{32} = \sqrt{16 \cdot 2} = 4\sqrt{2}
\]
Thus, the expression becomes:
\[
4\sqrt{2} + \sqrt{2} = 5\sqrt{2}
\]
**Answer:** d It is irrational and equal to 5 times the square root of 2.

### Question 2
The average rate of change from 0 to 18 (where the graph starts at 60 and ends at 0):
\[
\text{Average Rate of Change} = \frac{0 - 60}{18 - 0} = -\frac{60}{18} = -3.33
\]
**Answer:** a 0 ≤ x ≤ 18, −3.33

### Question 3
The original population of State A at \(x = 0\) (when \(x\) is in years):
\[
f(0) = (1.08)^0 = 1 \text{ million}
\]
For State B, it’s not provided, but given points through which it passes and considering it doubles:
At \(x = 0\), \(g(0) = 2\) million. Hence, the original population of State B was 2 million, and the population of State A was 1 million.
**Answer:** a The original population of State B was half the original population of State A.

### Question 4
Since the price increases by 35%, the equation is:
\[
y = 590(1.35)^x
\]
**Answer:** a y = 590(1.35)x

### Question 5
The function is \(f(x) = 54(0.45)^x\). The base \(0.45\) indicates a decay; hence the percent is:
\[
100\% - 45\% = 55\%
\]
**Answer:** a Exponential decay, 55% decrease

### Question 6
The function \(f(x) = 5(0.21)^x\) crosses the y-axis at \(x = 0\):
\[
f(0) = 5(0.21)^0 = 5
\]
**Answer:** b an exponential graph decreasing from the left and crossing the y axis at 0 comma 5

### Question 7
The number 3,267 represents the initial amount of money placed in the savings account at \(x=0\).
**Answer:** c The initial amount of money placed in the savings account

### Question 8
To find the daily growth rate from 8% weekly:
The daily rate \(r\) is given by:
\[
1.08 = (1 + r)^7 \quad \Rightarrow \quad r \approx 0.0106 \Rightarrow 1.06\%
\]
**Answer:** a f(x) = 86(1.08)7x; grows approximately at a rate of 5.6% daily

### Question 9
In the function \(f(n) = 9(0.7)^n\), the number 9 represents the height from which the ball is dropped.
**Answer:** b Height from which the ball was dropped

### Question 10
To simplify \( \sqrt{5} \times \sqrt[3]{5} \):
\[
= 5^{1/2} \cdot 5^{1/3} = 5^{(3/6 + 2/6)} = 5^{5/6}
\]
**Answer:** a five to the five sixths power

### Question 11
A reasonable domain for the function would be:
\( \text{Days in October} = 31 \)
**Answer:** b 0 ≤ x ≤ 31

### Question 12
The function \(f(x) = 28(1.16)^x\) represents a constant growth of \(16\%\).
**Answer:** b 16% growth

### Question 13
The function \(y = 12 \cdot 2^x \) shows growth since the base is greater than 1 and the horizontal asymptote is \(y = 0\).
**Answer:** b Growth; y = 0

### Question 14
The balances indicate a sequence where there is a common difference indicating it is a linear function.
**Answer:** a This is a linear function because there is a common difference in the balance between the weeks.

### Question 15
Looking at the balance data, if the increases aren't constant and seem to accelerate, the garden shop profits \(f(x)\) would represent exponential growth.
**Answer:** a f(x) is exponential; an exponential function increases more slowly than a linear function.
