Both problems give you a function in the second column and the x-values. To find out the values of a through f, you need to plug in those x-values into the function and simplify!
You need to know three exponent rules to simplify these expressions:
1) The negative exponent rule says that when a base has a negative exponent, flip the base onto the other side of the fraction to make it into a positive exponent. For example,
.
2) Raising a fraction to a power is the same as separately raising the numerator and denominator to that power. For example,
.
3) The zero exponent rule<span> says that any number raised to zero is 1. For example,
.
</span>

Problem 1
The x-values are in the left column. The title of the right column tells you that the function is
. The x-values are:
<span>1) x = 0
</span>Plug this into
to find letter a:
<span>
2) x = 2
</span>Plug this into to find letter b:
<span>
3) x = 4
</span>Plug this into to find letter c:
<span>
Problem 2
</span>The x-values are in the left column. The title of the right column tells you that the function is
. The x-values are:
<span>1) x = 0
</span>Plug this into
to find letter d:
<span>
2) x = 2
</span>Plug this into to find letter e:
<span>
3) x = 4

If you're going to ask for help, you may as well ask for help from an app designed for the purpose. This app is available for both Android and iOS devices. My TI-83/84 calculator also has a triangle solver app.
(A) There is only one possible solution
b = 16.3
C = 26°
B = 87°
_____
If you want to do this yourself, you can use the Law of Sines to find angle C.
.. C = arcsin(7.1/15*sin(67°)) ≈ 25.8302° . . . . don't round intermediate values
Then angle B is 180° -67° -angle C = 87.1698°
and side b is found from the Law of Sines:
.. b = 15*sin(C)/sin(A) ≈ 16.2755
