Finding a final amount in a word problem on exponentinl growth or decay The half-life of a radioactive isotope is the time it takes for a quantity of the isotope to be reduced to half its initial mass. Starting with 135 grams of a radioactive isotope, how much will be left after 3 half-lives? Use the calculator provided and round your answer to the nearest gram.

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?

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

(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.)
