Describe the behavior of the graph at the \( x \)-intercepts for the function \( f(x)=(2 x-7)^{7}(x+3)^{4} \). Be sure to identify each \( x \)-intercept and justify your answer. (4 points)

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

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 \( y= \)

If \( (-1,8) \) is a point on the graph of \( y=f(x) \), which of the following must be on the graph of \( y=f(-x) \) ? \( (8,1) \) \( (-1,-8) \) Choose the correct answer below. \( (1,8) \) \( (-8,-1) \)

(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.)
