Loan payment formula 2019-02-24
Kenneth pose la question :

I have a question regarding the loan payment formula shown below.

Calculating the Payment Amount per Period
The formula for calculating the payment amount is shown below.

Simple Amortization Calculation Formula

A = P X r(1 + r)n over (1 + r)n - 1

where

A = payment Amount per period

P = initial Principal (loan amount)
r = interest rate per period

n = total number of payments or periods

Is this formula/calculation a condensed version of a longer calculation? I am curious to know how the (1 +r)n - 1 was developed from the longer calculation. For example, r(1 + r)n may have been (r + rn)n. The n's are exponents.

I thank you for whatever helpful explanation that may be provided.

Kenneth

A geometric series 2018-03-13
nathi pose la question :
Hi I am really struggling with this question please help !!!!
a pohutukawa tree is 86 centimetres when it is planted. in the first year after it is planted , the tree grows 42 centimetres in height.Each year the tree grows in height by 95% of the growth of the previous year.
assume that the growth in height of the pohutukawa tree can be modelled by a geometric sequence.
A)find the height of the tree 5 years after it is planted and figure out the maximum height the pohutukawa tree is expected to reach in centimetres. The maximum height part is not answered.

1 + 3 + 3^2 ...+3^(n-1) = 3^n - 1/2 2012-01-27
Vicki pose la question :
I am trying to find out how to do show how this proof was worked.
Here is the end result 1 + 3 + 3^2 ...+3^(n-1) = 3^n - 1/2

This equation was used to find the number of white triangles in the Sierpinski Triangle

An imaginary infinite geometric tree 2011-02-18
Elise pose la question :
An imaginary infinite geometric tree grows 1m the first day. 2nd day 2 branches and right angles to each other and each 0.5 m long. 3rd day two new branches at ends of each of previous days' 2 branches, again at right angles, and only .25m long each.
And so on, infinitely.
Q: Use relationships of right-angled triangles and high school level knowledge of geometric series to show the tree height is limited to (4 + sqrt2)/3 m and width to (2(sqrt2 + 1))/3 m.

A sequence of circles 2007-06-11
Ann pose la question :
Please help with solving the following problem!!! A circle is inscribed in an equilateral triangle with a side of length 2. Three circles are drawn externally tangent to this circle and internally tangent to 2 sides of the triangle. 3 more circles are drawn externally tantgent to these circles and internally tangent to 2 sides of the triangle. if this process continued forever, what would be the sum of the areas of all the circle? the answer 1 parent came up with was Pie over 2, but we don't know how he did it. Can you please show the work or explain the answer to this problem? Thank you Ann p s my daughter is in 9th grade math.

A worm crawling home 2004-02-18
Cindy pose la question :
A worm is crawling to his home which is one meter away. The longer he crawls the weaker he gets and the less he can crawl the next day. If he crawls within 1/3000 of a meter of his home, he will find food. He must eat within twelve days. The first day he crawls 1/2 meter. The second day he crawls 1/4 meter. The third day he crawls 1/8 of meter. This pattern continues for twelve days. Make a Chart that shows the distance he has covered at the end of each day and the total he has covered at the end of each day. Does he make it to the Food in time?

A bouncing ball 2002-12-14
Eman pose la question :

Q : When a childís ball is dropped from a height h metres on to a hard, flat floor, it rebounds to a height of 3/5h metres. The ball is dropped initially from a height of 1.2m.

  1. Find the maximum height to which the ball rises after two bounces.
  2. Find the total distance that the ball has traveled when it hits the floor for the tenth time.
  3. Assuming that the ball continues to bounce in the same way indefinitely, find the total distance that the ball travels.

My salary is doubled everyday for 30 days 2002-01-17
Kanishk pose la question :
I recieve 1 penny the 1st day, 2 pennies the 2nd day, and my salary is doubled everyday for 30 days. How much money will I have by the end of the 30 day time period? (Is there a way of solving this problem without a chart?)

Comparing an integral and a sum 2000-11-21
Douglas Norberg pose la question :
A fellow teacher asked me about a problem she wanted to give to her students. It involved whether to take a million dollars or a penny doubled a number of times. I was able to determine the number must have been .01 * 230 which is about $10 million and a lot more than $1 million. To check that I was right I used a spreadsheet and did a Riemann sum.

When I finished I reasoned that I had done the task in several steps and I could have done it in 1 step. Thus I integrated .01 * 2x from 0 through 30 but the number I got was $15,490,820.0324. Why the difference?

Infinite Geometric Series 2000-11-10
Sam Carter pose la question :
I ran into a problem when studying how to find the sum of an infinite geometric series. My math book attempts to explain the concept by giving formulas involving sigma and |r|, but it does not really explain how to go about finding the sum of an infinite geometric series. If you could either help me with this or point me in the direction of an informative website that could help me, I'd appreciate it.

Geometric sequences 2000-04-11
Jodie pose la question :
I am in a grade ten principles class and was taught how to do geometric sequences and series but no one in my class understood what we were taught. Our teacher is one of few to use the new curriculum which used to be the grade twelve curriculum. Could you please explain to me how to do geometric sequences and how to find the different terms and sums. Thank you very much!
