Final answer:

The expressions are (1 + x)^x and x^x, and solving the equation when x = 3 will get 64.

Step-by-step explanation:

To write an expression to show Darren's total savings for x years, we can use the formula:

Total Savings = 55 * x

When x = 3, we can evaluate the expression to find the total savings:

Total Savings = 55 * 3

= 165

The expression (1 + x)^x represents the power of (1 + x) raised to the power of x.

When x = 3, the expression evaluates to:

(1 + 3)^3 = 4^3

= 64

The expression x^x represents x raised to the power of x.

When x = 3, the expression evaluates to:

3^3 = 27
