The red angle markers show those two angles are congruent. That's one "A" of "ASA". The S refers to a congruent pair of sides. We don't have any tickmarks to indicate congruent pairs; however, we do know that QR = QR is a shared side that overlaps (reflexive theorem). So this is the "S" in "ASA".
The thing missing is the angle Q of the top triangle, and also of the bottom triangle as well. If we know those two angles are congruent, then we have enough info to use ASA. More specifically, if we know that , then we can use ASA.
One thing to notice is that the other answer choices involve side lengths and not angles. This implies that if A, B or C were one of the answers, then we would have something like SAS or SSS. But instead we want ASA. So we can immediately rule choices A,B, and C out.
The general formula for exponential growth and decays is:
if k>0 then then it is an exponential growth function. If k<0 then the function represents an exponential decay.
Now we need to classify each of the functions:
1.
The function
can be wrtten as:
comparing with the general formula we notice that k=2, therefore this is an exponential growth.
2.
The function
can be written as:
comparing with the general formula we notice that k=-4, therefore this is an exponential decay.
3.
The function
comparing with the general formula we notice that k=-1, therefore this is an exponential decay.
