F(n) = 900 - 60(n-1) represent the amount oscar still need to repay on a loan at the beginning of month n .Find the amount oscar pays monthly and the month in which he will make his last payment.

Respuesta :

Answer:Each installment will be of 60 and 16th will be the last payment.


Step-by-step explanation:

To find the monthly repayment by Oscar we first find the sequence.


For that first we put [tex] n=1 [/tex] in

[tex] F(n)=900-60(n-1)[/tex]


[tex] F(1)= 900-60(1-1) = 900 [/tex]


Now for [tex]n=2 [/tex]

[tex] F(2)=900-60(2-1)=840[/tex]


For [tex]n=3[/tex]

[tex] F(3)=900-60(3-1)=900-120=780[/tex]


So the sequenxe is 900,840,780......


As the amount is decreasing by 900-840=840-780=60


Therefore each installment will be equal to 60


For last payment amount will become 0

i.e.[tex]F(n) =0[/tex]


[tex] 900-60(n-1)=0[/tex]


[tex] 900-60n+60=0 [/tex]


[tex] 960=60n [/tex]


[tex]n = 960\div60[/tex]


[tex]n = 16 [/tex]


Last month will be 16th
