Answer:
Here we will use the relationships:



And a number:

is between 0 and 1 if a is positive and larger than 1, and n is negative.
if a is positive and 0 < a < 1, then we need to have n positive such that:
0 < a^n < 1
A) 
This is between zero and 1,
B) 
This is greater than 1, because the exponent is positive.
C) 
Because a is smaller than 1, and the exponent is positive, then the expression is between 0 and 1.
D) 
The exponent is negative (and pair) then the expression is between 0 and 1.
Remember that when the exponent is pair, we always have that:
(-N)^m = (N)^m
So (-7)^-2 = 7^-2
The answer is C, the function is not following constant change, so not linear, and if it was .1^x, then it would be 1.4 instead of 12.6. So C is correct.
Answer:
D. ABE =CBD by SSS.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that AB = BD and BE = BC, the lengths of AE and CD are equal to each other. Hence, triangles ABE and BCD are congruent by SSS Theorem. The answer is D.
