Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
The expression is 
<u>We use the rule of exponents shown below to change the original to </u><u>"positive"</u><u> exponent form:</u>
<u>
</u>
<em>Now we can change the original expression given into positive exponent:</em>

Can you post what it says? I could probably help you out.
Ok so to find the ratio just do 12/16 = 3/4. that's your common ratio.
The formula for sum of infinite :
a / (1 - r)
a is the first term and r is the ratio
which is
16 / (1 - (3/4))
which is
16 / (1/4)
16 * 4
which is 64
First month's profit of the company = $2,400.
After the first month, the profit is modeled by the function
J(t) = 2.5t + 1,250, t is the number of months after the first month the shop opened.
Now, P(t) describes the total profit earned by the company.
So, P(t) = (Profit earned from first month) + (Profit earned from remaining 11 months of the year)
= 2400 + (2.5t + 1250)
<u><em>= 2.5t + 3650</em></u>
Hence, total profit earned for the year = 2.5t + 3650.
The first one is 11 and -11 because when you square them they both get 121
The second one is -7 and -1
