C) a^7/12b^4
D) a^12b^8/17

-Algebra 2 11.1.2

- both graphs increase on their domain.

- the graphs of both functions have the same x-intercept.

- neither graph has a y-intercept.

explanation:

previous steps have made pa≅ pb ≅ st ≅ su. setting the compass width to ab allows you to make tu the same length. then δstu ≅ δpab by the sss congruence postulate, and ∠p ≅ ∠s by the reason cpctc.
