Answer:

Part 1) The algebraic expression is equal to
1.10(n-1) or
1.10n-1.10

Part 2) The algebraic expression is equal to
(1.10)/(n)

Explanation:

Part 1) we have (n-1) increased by 110%

110%=110/100=1.10

so

The algebraic expression of (n-1) increased by 110% is equal to multiply 1.10 by (n-1)


1.10(n-1)

Distributed


1.10n-1.10

Part 2) we have n^(-1) increased by 110%

110%=110/100=1.10

so

The algebraic expression of n^(-1) increased by 110% is equal to multiply 1.10 by n^(-1)

Remember that


n^(-1)=(1)/(n)

so


1.10(n^(-1))=1.10(1)/(n)=(1.10)/(n)
