  1. (a) Nathan and Nelle (twins) got an inheritance of $550,000 upon turning twenty one. Nathan decides to invest his money with ABC Financial. If ABC Financial pays simple interest at a rate of 6.75% per annum, how long in years, will it take Nathan’s money to grow to $720,000?

(b) Nelle decided to invest her money with XYZ Financial. If XYZ Financial doubles the inheritance in the same amount of time that Nathan got his money, what was the interest rate charged by XYX Financial?
  1. Jake was born on January 1st 1992. On the last day of the month Jake’s mom opened a college fund for him by depositing $500 into an account that pays 4% per annum compounded monthly. She intends to deposit a similar amount on the last day of each month until Jake is 20 years old.

She will then stop depositing money into the account. However, she will leave the money in the account until Jake is ready to attend college.

  1. How much money will be in the account when Jake turns 20 years?

  1. If Jake has decided that he would begin attending college when he is 27. How much money would then be in the account?
  1. Jake intends to finance his college education by making forty eight (48) equal monthly withdrawals from the account. How much will each withdrawal be?

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.
