Begin by graphing \( f(x)=3^{x} \). Then use transformations of this graph to graph the given function. Be sure to graph and give the equation of the asymptote. Use the graph to determine the function's domain and range. If applicable, use a graphing utility to confirm your hand-drawn graphs. \( g(x)=3^{x}-1 \) Which transformation is needed to graph the function \( g(x)=3^{x}-1 \) ? Choose the correct answer below. B. The graph of \( f(x)=3^{x} \) should be shifted 1 unit to the left. C. The graph of \( f(x)=3^{x} \) should be shifted 1 unit upward. D. The graph of \( f(x)=3^{x} \) should be shifted 1 unit downward.

Given the function with the equation \( k(x)=\frac{-6}{x+2}-2 \) : \( 7.1 \quad \) Write the equations of the asymptotes of \( k \).

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 \( y= \)

Complete the sentence below. Suppose that the graph of a function \( f \) is known. Then the graph of \( y=f(-x) \) may be obtained by a reflection about the -axis of the graph of the function \( y=f(x) \). Suppose that the graph of a function \( f \) is known. Then the graph of \( y=f(-x) \) may be obtained by a reflection about the -axis of the graph of the function \( y=f(x) \).

(a) Express the distance \( d \) from \( P \) to the origin as a function of \( x \). \( d(x)=\sqrt{\mathrm{x}^{4}-3 \mathrm{x}^{2}+4} \) (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 (Type an integer or decimal rounded to two decimal places as needed.)

Given: \( f(x)=2\left(x^{2}-1\right) \) Sketch function \( f \) on the diagram sheet. Clearly show all intercepts with the axes.
