Two laptops are available for purchase. The cost of the silver laptop can be modeled with the function \( f(t)=3,000(0.85)^{t} \), and the cost of the black laptop can be modeled with the function \( g(t)=3,500(0.7)^{t} \), where \( t \) is the tim in years. Your parents will help you buy the less expensive laptop, but you must choose within the next 2 years. Which statement below best represents the outcome? - You buy the silver laptop. - You buy the black laptop. - Both laptops cost the same amount.

Find the function that is finally graphed after the following transformations are applied to the graph of \( y=\sqrt{x} \) in the order listed. (1) Shift up 7 units (2) Reflect about the \( x \)-axis (3) Reflect about the \( y \)-axis \( y= \)

Given the function with the equation \( k(x)=\frac{-6}{x+2}-2 \) : 7.1 Write the equations of the asymptotes of \( k \). 7.2 Give the range of \( k \). 7.3 Give the domain of \( k \). 7.4 Drite the equation of the axis of symmetry, with a positive gradient. 7.5 If \( k \) is reflected over the \( x \)-axis and shifted upwards by 2 units, 7.6 give the equation of the new function, \( j(x) \), after the transformations. 7.7 In which quadrant(s) would the arms of \( k \) not be if it was sketched?
