Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

B(n) = A(1 + i)^n - (P/i)[(1 + i)^n - 1]

where B is the balance after n payments are made, i is the monthly interest rate, P is the monthly payment and A is the initial amount of loan.

We require B(n) = 0...i.e. balance of 0 after n months.

so, 0 = A(1 + i)^n - (P/i)[(1 + i)^n - 1]

Then, with some algebraic juggling we get:

n = -[log(1 - (Ai/P)]/log(1 + i)

Now, payment is at the beginning of the month, so A = $754.43 - $150 => $604.43

Also, i = (13.6/100)/12 => 0.136/12 per month

i.e. n = -[log(1 - (604.43)(0.136/12)/150)]/log(1 + 0.136/12)

so, n = 4.15 months...i.e. 4 payments + remainder

b) Now we have A = $754.43 - $300 = $454.43 so,

n = -[log(1 - (454.43)(0.136/12)/300)]/log(1 + 0.136/12)

so, n = 1.54 months...i.e. 1 payment + remainder

<u>Answer:</u>

  • The value of x is 14.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

<u>We know that:</u>

  • ΔABC ≅ ΔEFG
  • 21 x 2/3 = x

<u>Work:</u>

  • 21 x 2/3 = x
  • => 7 x 3 x 2/3 = x
  • => 7 x 2 = x
  • => 14 = x

Hence, <u>the value of x is 14.</u>
