3 Name: Date: SEQUENCES COMMON CORE ALGEBRA II I Commo Core Algebra I, you studied sequeces, which are ordered lists of umbers. Sequeces are extremely importat i mathematics, both theoretical ad applied. A sequece is formally defied as a fuctio that has as its domai the set the set of positive itegers, i.e.,, 3,...,. Exercise #: A sequece is defied by the equatio a (a) Fid the first three terms of this sequece, deoted by a, a, ad a 3.. (b) Which term has a value of 53? (c) Explai why there will ot be a term that has a value of 70. Recall that sequeces ca also be described by usig recursive defiitios. Whe a sequece is defied recursively, terms are foud by operatios o previous terms. Exercise #: A sequece is defied by the recursive formula: f f (a) Geerate the first five terms of this sequece. Label each term with proper fuctio otatio. 5 with f. (b) Determie the value of f 0. Hit thik about how may times you have added 5 to. Exercise #3: Determie a recursive defiitio, i terms of f iclude a startig value. 5, 0, 0, 40, 80, 60,, for the sequece show below.

23 Name: Date: MORTGAGE PAYMENTS COMMON CORE ALGEBRA II Mortgages, ot just o houses, are large amouts of moey borrowed from a bak o which iterest is calculated (added o) o a regular (typically mothly) basis. Regular paymets are also made o the amout of moey owed so that over time the pricipal (origial amout borrowed) is paid off as well as ay iterest o the amout owed. This is a complex process that ultimately ivolves geometric series. First, some basics. Exercise #: Let's say a perso takes out a mortgage for $00,000 ad wats to make paymets of $600 each moth of pay it off. The bak is goig to charge this perso 4% omial yearly iterest, applied mothly. (a) What is the amout owed at the ed of the first moth? Show the calculatios that lead to your aswer. (b) How much of the first moth's paymet wet to payig off the pricipal? How much of it wet to payig iterest o the loa? Show your calculatios. Amout Towards Pricipal Amout Towards Iterest (c) Determie the amout owed at the ed of the secod moth. Agai, show the calculatios that lead to your aswer. (d) The amout owed at the ed of a moth actually forms a sequece that ca be defied recursively. If a 00, 000, the defie a recursive rule that gives this sequece. Exercise #: If a perso took out a $50,000 mortgage at 5% yearly iterest, why would it be uwise to have mothly paymets of $500? COMMON CORE ALGEBRA II, UNIT #5 SEQUENCES AND SERIES LESSON #6

24 Now, eve if we ca defie the sequece recursively, as i Exercise #(d), it would be ice to have a formula that would calculate what we owed after a certai umber of moths explicitly. To do this, we must see a tricky, exteded patter. Exercise #3: Let's go back to our example of the $00,000 mortgage at 4% yearly iterest. Remember, we are payig off this mortgage with $,600 mothly paymets (much of which are iitially goig to iterest). Let's see if we ca determie how much we still owe after -paymets. To make our work easier to follow (ad more.04 geeral), we will let r.003, P 00,000, ad m, 600 to stad for mothly rate (i decimal form, our pricipal, ad our mothly paymet). (a) Explai what the followig calculatio represets. P r m (b) What does the followig calculatio represet? Write it i expaded form, but leave the biomial r. P r m r m (c) Based o (a) ad (b), cotiue this lie of thikig to write expressios for the amout owed at the ed of 3 moths ad 4 moths. (d) Based o (c), write a equatio for how much would be owed after moths. Exercise #4: Now let's see the geometric series. I your aswer to (d), you should have the followig expressio: 3 m r m r m r m r m r m 3 Give that this is equivalet to: m m r m r m r m r, fid the sum of the geometric series iside of the paretheses. Thik carefully about the umber of terms i this expressio. Exercise #5: Fid the amout owed o this loa after 0 years or 0 paymets (moths).

Mothly paymets of $,000 are beig made o this loa. (a) Determie how much is owed o this loa at the ed of the first, secod, third moth ad fourth moths. Show the work that leads to your aswers. Evaluate all expressios. Oe Moth: Two Moths: Three Moths: Four Moths: (b) The amouts that are owed at the ed of each moth form a sequece that ca be defied recursively. Give that a $50, 000 represets the first amout owed, give a recursive rule based o what you did i (a) that shows how each successive amout owed depeds o the previous oe. (c) Usig a geometric series approach (i.e. the formula we developed i Exercises #3 ad #4), determie how much is still owed after 5 years of paymets. Show your work. (d) Will this loa be paid off after 0 years? What about 30? Provide evidece to support both aswers. COMMON CORE ALGEBRA II, UNIT #5 SEQUENCES AND SERIES LESSON #6

26 Whe a loa officer speaks to people about a loa for a certai pricipal, P, at a certai mothly rate, r, they always have to balace two quatities, the mothly paymet, m, with the umber of paymets,, it takes to pay off the loa. These two vary iversely. All of these quatities ca be related by the formula: P r m r This formula is derived by takig the formula we arrived at i Exercises #3 ad #4 ad settig what we owe equal to zero.. Calculate the mothly paymet eeded to pay off a $00,000 loa at 4% yearly iterest over a 0 year period. Recall that r is the mothly rate. Show your work ad carefully evaluate the above formula for m. 3. Do the same calculatio as i the previous exercise but ow make the pay off period 30 years istead of 0. How much less is your mothly paymet? It is of iterest to also be able to calculate the umber of paymets (ad hece the pay off period) if you have a mothly paymet i mid. But this is much more difficult give that you must solve for. 4. Give the formula above: (a) Show that P r log m log r (b) Usig (a), determie the umber of moths it would take to pay off a $50,000 loa at a mothly 0.5% rate with $,000 paymets.
