Got a japanese maple on sale. not sure how to properly care for it

Schenectady, NY

Cliche title I'm sure, but I'm new to gardening in general and just bought my first home a few months ago so I'm pretty clueless.
Three weeks ago there was a sale at a local garden store and I picked up this japanese maple tree. Stupidly I threw out the little care card that came with it so I do not know what kind it is or how to properly care for it.
I planted it about 3 weeks ago and it seems to be doing fine but it has some weird colors on the leaves and some are a little burnt or something. I was hoping someone could take a look and maybe tell me what type of tree it is and offer a little guidance on care and if I should be doing any kind of pruning or what have you. Thank you.
