Answer: a_1=50,d=25 and $475 deposited into the account on her birthdays by her 18th birthday.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that, on Gabriela’s first birthday, her parents gave her a $50 savings account.

Initial term : a_1=50

On every birthday after that her parents added to the account, increasing the amount they deposited by $25 each year.

Common difference : d=25

It forms an AP: 50,75,100,...

nth term of an AP is

a_n=a_1+(n-1)d

Substitute a_1=50 and d=25 in the above formula.

a_n=50+(n-1)25

It represents the amount deposited into the account after n birthdays.

We need to find the amount by her 18th birthday.

Put n=18 in the above equation.

a_{18}=50+(18-1)25

a_{18}=50+(17)25

a_{18}=50+425

a_{18}=475

Therefore, $475 deposited into the account on her birthdays by her 18th birthday.
