7m = 49 solve the equation by trial and error method
1 answer:
Trial and error specifies that you should guess the value of m and see if you aimed too low too high then adjust your next guess based on that.
Suppose we don't already know what m is (even though it is completely obvious), let's pick m to be 6,
So we check, but
which means m must be bigger.
So we pick m to be 8 and check, but
which means m must be smaller.
Since only natural number between 6 and 8 is 7 we pick m to be 7 and check, and
.
The answer is therefore 7.
Hope this helps :)

In this case we have an ARM fixed for 6 years and adjust after the initial first 6 years every 2 years after. The basic idea behind a ARM is that the interest changes periodically, but since our ARM is fixed for 6 years, our going to calculate the monthly payment during the initial period using the formula: 
where
is the monthly payment
is the amount
is the interest rate in decimal form
is the number years
First we need to convert our interest rate of 4% to decimal form by dividing it by 100%:
We also know from our question that
and 
, so lets replace those values into our formula to find the monthly payment:
We can conclude that the monthly payment during the initial period is $1071.58<span />
