"The form not showing up..." means that you didn't finish your sentence where you wrote:

"...the manufacturer summarized that the trend line that describes the monthly sales (in thousands of dollars) has the form ."

Has the form what?

You also left the next sentence unfinished.

"Assuming that a multiplicative model can be used to describe the sales data, generate a forecast for the total dollar sales the company can expect to receive in February of ."

February of what?

Sorry, but we simply aren't clairvoyant.
