View attachment 6478View attachment 6479This is the worksheet my quantitative reasoning teacher assigned us. I was able to complete the chart using Microsoft Excel and printed a page that has all the values for to table in with the table. A tutor at my college gave me the logical formula to find the minimum payment, interest, and Balance A at the end of month. I do not understand completely how he came to the equations I wrote on the bottom for each column of the table. Which brings me to my next problem.

I do not know how to answer question 4 where it asks me to use my table/chart to determine a formula for the balance A at the end of m months (as the minimum payment is greater than $25). The answer seem obvious and in my face but I do not know how to solve. Please clarify this form me.

Are you looking for an Excel formula?
 
Yes because It is asking for me to use the formula i make in question 4 to then determine the balance A at the end of t years. There is a table on the next page I must fill out. I need the formula to then create a graph.

Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
Fermat's Last Theorem has long been one of the most famous mathematical problems, and is now one of the most famous theorems. It simply states that the equation $$ a^n+b^n=c^n $$ has no solutions with positive integers if ##n>2.## It was named after Pierre de Fermat (1607-1665). The problem itself stems from the book Arithmetica by Diophantus of Alexandria. It gained popularity because Fermat noted in his copy "Cubum autem in duos cubos, aut quadratoquadratum in duos quadratoquadratos, et...
I'm interested to know whether the equation $$1 = 2 - \frac{1}{2 - \frac{1}{2 - \cdots}}$$ is true or not. It can be shown easily that if the continued fraction converges, it cannot converge to anything else than 1. It seems that if the continued fraction converges, the convergence is very slow. The apparent slowness of the convergence makes it difficult to estimate the presence of true convergence numerically. At the moment I don't know whether this converges or not.
