The exponential model \( A=177.2 e^{0.013 t} \) describe the population, \( A_{1} \) of a country in millions, \( t \) years after 2003 . Use the model to answer the following questions: a) what was the population of the country in 2003 ? b) By what percentage is the papulation of the country increasing each year?

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?

Express \( 148.38^{\circ} \) in radians. Answer \( = \) Blank 1 (Express your answer in 2 decimal points)

(a) Express the distance \( d \) from \( P \) to the origin as a function of \( x \). \( d(x)=\sqrt{x^{4}-3 x^{2}+4} \) (Simplify your answer. Type an exact answer, using radicals as needed.) (b) What is \( d \) if \( x=0 \) ? If \( x=0 \), the distance \( d \) is 2 . (Type an integer or decimal rounded to two decimal placels as needed.) (c) What is \( d \) if \( x=1 \) ? If \( x=1 \), the distance \( d \) is \( \square \). (Type an integer or decimal rounded to two decimal places as needed.)

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 \( y= \)
