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?

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 \( k \).

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 \( x \). \( d(x)=\sqrt{x^{4}-3 x^{2}+4} \) (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 \( y= \)
