<h3>Answer:  101/200</h3>

==================================================

Explanation:

Each term multiplied out is of the form 1 - 1/(k^2) which we can write as 1^2 - (1/k)^2

Note we have something in the form a^2 - b^2 with a = 1 and b = 1/k

So  

a^2 - b^2 = (a-b)(a+b)

1^2 - (1/k)^2 = (1 - 1/k)(1 + 1/k)

1^2 - (1/k)^2 = [ (k - 1)/k ] * [ (k + 1)/k ]

----------------

Let P = [ (k - 1)/k ] * [ (k + 1)/k ]  represent the kth term we are dealing with

Then let Q be the term just after term P, so it's the (k+1) term

To form term Q, replace every k with k+1

Q =  [ (k+1 - 1)/(k+1) ] * [ (k+1 + 1)/(k+1) ]

Q = [ k/(k+1) ] * [ (k+2)/(k+1) ]

----------------

Let's multiply P and Q to find out what happens . See figure 1 in the attached images below.

As figure 1 shows, we see that the middle terms cancel out. This will happen when we multiply P*Q*R, where R is the term just after Q. Extend this idea out as far as you want and each time the middle terms will pair up and cancel.

All that's left are the first and last terms, which are

1 - 1/2 = 1/2

and

1 + 1/100 = 101/100

They multiply to 101/200

----------------

Figure 2 (also attached as an image) shows a longer way to do the problem. Basically I expanded out a bunch of terms to multiply, and then show how we have various terms pair up and cancel, in basically the same way as explained above. What's left are the first and last terms 1/2 and 101/100 which multiply to 101/200.

To buy a car, you borrow $25,000 with a term of three years at an APR of 6.5%. What is your monthly
Finger [1]

Answer:

  $766.23

Step-by-step explanation:

The amortization formula is appropriate for this. (Better, use a financial calculator or spreadsheet.)

  A = P(r/12)/(1 -(1 +r/12)^-(12t))

where P is the amount borrowed (25,000), r is the annual rate (0.065), and t is the number of years (3).

Putting the given numbers into the formula, we have ...

  A = $25,000(0.065/12)/(1 -(1 +0.065/12)^(-36))

  A = $25,000(.00541667)/(1 -1.00541667^-36)

  A = $25,000(0.00541667)/(0.1767322)

  A = $766.23

The monthly payment is $766.23.

<em>Comment on tools</em>

A graphing or scientific calculator is useful for these. Something like a TI-84, or any of the equivalents, will have financial calculations like this built in. There are also numerous apps available for phone or tablet that will do financial calculations.
