It'd be easier to do #18 if y ou were to break it up:
14* (first term + 14th term)
Sum from n=1 to 14 of n = S = ---------------------------------
14 2
14(1+14)
= ---------------- = 7(15) = 105
2
The sum of twice that is 210. The sum of "1 from n=1 to n=14" is just 14.
The final sum is 210 + 14 = 224 (answer)

Hope that helps.Have a nice day!! ^^

Step-by-step explanation:
what type of question is this? no offense
In order to calculate the amount, we simply substitute the number of years into x in both equations.
After 3 years:
f(3) = 5(3) + 150
= $165
g(3) = 150 * 1.03⁽³⁾
= $163.90
After 10 years:
f(10) = 5(10) + 150
= $200
g(10) = 150 * 1.03⁽¹⁰⁾
= $201.59
After three years, the first account has more money but after ten years, the second account has more money.
