To determine which of the given exponential functions are increasing from left to right, we need to analyze the base of each function:

1. **Exponential functions of the form $$ f(x) = a^x $$**:
   - If $$ a > 1 $$, the function is increasing.
   - If $$ 0 < a < 1 $$, the function is decreasing.

Now, let's evaluate each function:

1. $$ f(x) = \left(\frac{1}{8}\right)^{x} $$
   - Base: $$ \frac{1}{8} $$ (which is less than 1)
   - This function is **decreasing**.

2. $$ f(x) = (1.6)^{x} $$
   - Base: $$ 1.6 $$ (which is greater than 1)
   - This function is **increasing**.

3. $$ f(x) = (0.77)^{x} $$
   - Base: $$ 0.77 $$ (which is less than 1)
   - This function is **decreasing**.

4. $$ f(x) = (1.2)^{x} $$
   - Base: $$ 1.2 $$ (which is greater than 1)
   - This function is **increasing**.

Based on this analysis, the increasing functions are:

- $$ \square f(x) = (1.6)^{x} $$
- $$ \square f(x) = (1.2)^{x} $$

So, the correct selections are:

- $$ \square f(x) = (1.6)^{x} $$
- $$ \square f(x) = (1.2)^{x} $$
The increasing functions are $$ f(x) = (1.6)^{x} $$ and $$ f(x) = (1.2)^{x} $$.
