Answer to Problem 7CYU
The recursive formula:
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Ben financed a $1500 rowing machine to help him train for the college rowing team. He could only make a $100 payment each month, and his bill increased by 1 % due to interest at the end of each month.
Write a recursive formula for the balance owed at the end of each month.
Concept Used:
Ben financed a $1500 rowing machine to help him train for the college rowing team. He could only make a $100 payment each month, and his bill increased by 1 % due to interest at the end of each month.
According to the condition given in the question:
The recursive formula:
Thus, the recursive formula:
(b)
Find the balance owed after the first four months.
(b)

Answer to Problem 7CYU
The next 4 balances are:
Explanation of Solution
Given:

Find the balance owed after the first four months.
Concept Used:
First month balance is $1500.
Using the recursive formula
Calculation:
The balance owed after the first four months.
Thus, the next 4 balances are:
(c)
Find the amount of interest has accumulated after the first six months.
(c)

Answer to Problem 7CYU
$77.08
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Ben financed a $1500 rowing machine to help him train for the college rowing team. He could only make a $100 payment each month, and his bill increased by 1 % due to interest at the end of each month.
How much interest has accumulated after the first six months?
Concept Used:
Find the balance owed after the first six months.
Calculation:
Find the balance owed after the first six months.
Amount paid for the first six months is $600.
Remaining amount =
So, after six months $900 should be paid if there is no interest at all.
After the first six months, the interest has accumulated to $77.08.
Thus, after the first six months, the interest has accumulated to $77.08

They are playing a game where they randomly pick a card out of the hat four times, with replacement. Amy thinks that the probability of getting exactly two aces in four picks is equal to the probability of not getting exactly two aces in four picks. Samiha disagrees. She thinks that the probability of not getting exactly two aces is greater. The sample space of possible outcomes is listed below. A represents an ace, and K represents a king.
