Can someone show me how to even start with 1 and 2?

All you need to know is that
[tex]\displaystyle \lim_{x\to\infty}a^x=\begin{cases} \infty \text{ if } a>1\\1 \text{ if } a=1\\0 \text{ if } 0\leq a<1\end{cases}[/tex]
So, the first function grows exponentially and the second decays exponentially. The rate of growth/decay are the bases of the exponentials, which means 1.08 and 0.205
