he then turns around and grabs that money and sticks it for another 9 years,

add both amounts, and that's how much is for the whole 21 years.
Answer:
the second one it shows it going up
Answer: FIRST OPTION.
Step-by-step explanation:
For this exercise it is important to remember a property called "Quotient of Powers property".
By definition the Quotient of Powers property states the following:

You can observe the division of
and
. Since both have the same base "a" , you must rewrite the base and subtract the exponents "m" and "n".
In this case, you have the following expression given in the exercise:

Then, you need to apply the Quotient of Powers property rewriting the base 4 and subtracting the exponents 12 and 5.
Therefore, you get the following result:

You can notice that it matches with the first option.
Write out the expression 2 - (2x-7)^2. That's it.
But if you want to go further and remove the parentheses, first expand (2x-7)^2: (2x-7)^2 = 4x^2 - 28x + 49,
and then subtract this result from 2:
2 - (4x^2 - 28x + 49) (It's important to use parentheses here)
Now, following the distributive property of multiplication, remove the parentheses:
2 - 4x^2 + 28x - 49
Combining the constants, we get the final answer: - 4x^2 + 28x - 47
