A research student is working with a culture of bacteria that doubles in size every 90 minutes. The initial population count was 1225 bacteria. Rounding to five decimal places, write an exponential function, \( P(t)=P_{0} e^{k t} \), representing this situation. To the nearest whole number, what is the population size after 5 hours?

Clearly indicate all intercepts with the axes as well as the QUESTION 7 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 \( k \).

Let \( P=(x, y) \) be a point on the graph of \( y=x^{2}-2 \). Complete parts (a) through (e) below. (a) Express the distance \( d \) from \( P \) to the origin as a function of \( x \). \( d(x)= \) (Simplify your answer. Type an exact answer, using radicals 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 \( y= \)
