A $200,000 loan is to be repaid over 20 years in equal monthly installments of $M, beginning at the end of the first month. Find the monthly payment if the loan is at an annual rate of 9%, compounded monthly.

Assume interest rates are 4% per year, compounded annually. (a) Find the present value of the bond. (b) Suppose that instead of maturing in 100 years, the bond was to have paid $5 a year forever. This time the principal, $100, is never repaid. What is the present value of the bond?

Cephalexin is an antibiotic with a half-life in the body of 0.9 hours, taken in tablets of 250 mg every six hours. (a) What percentage of the cephalexin in the body at the start of a six-hour period is still there at the end (assuming no tablets are taken during that time)? (b) Write an expression for Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4, where Qn mg is the amount of cephalexin in the body right after the nth tablet is taken. (c) Express Q3, Q4 in closed form and evaluate them.

(e) If the patient keeps taking the tablets, use your answer to part (d) to find the quantity of cephalexin in the body in the long run, right after taking a tablet.

Before World War I, the British government issued what are called consols, which pay the owner or his heirs a fixed amount of money every year forever. (Cartoonists of the time described aristocrats living off such payments as pickled in consols.) What should a person expect to pay for consols which pay 10 a year forever? Assume the first payment is one year from the date of purchase and that interest remains 4% per year, compounded annually. ( denotes pounds, the British unit of currency.)

This problem illustrates how banks create credit and can thereby lend out more money than has been deposited. Suppose that initially $100 is deposited in a bank. Experience has shown bankers that on average only 8% of the money deposited is withdrawn by the owner at any time. Consequently, bankers feel free to lend out 92% of their deposits. Thus $92 of the original $100 is loaned out to other customers (to start a business, for example). This $92 becomes someone elses income and, sooner or later, is redeposited in the bank. Thus 92% of $92, or $92(0.92) = $84.64, is loaned out again and eventually redeposited. Of the $84.64, the bank again loans out 92%, and so on. (a) Find the total amount of money deposited in the bank as a result of these transactions.

Baby formula can contain bacteria which double in number every half hour at room temperature and every 10 hours in the refrigerator.10 There are B0 bacteria initially.

(ii) Fn, the number of bacteria n hours later if the baby formula is kept in the refrigerator. (iii) Yn, the ratio of the number of bacteria at room temperature to the number of bacteria in the refrigerator. (b) How many hours does it take before there are a million times as many bacteria in baby formula kept at room temperature as there are in baby formula kept in the refrigerator?

Suppose that 0 bn 2n for all n. Give two examples of series *bn that satisfy this condition, one that diverges and one that converges.

This problem shows how you can create a fractal called a Cantor Set. Take a line segment of length 1, divide it into three equal pieces and remove the middle piece. We are left with two smaller line segments. At the second stage, remove the middle third of each of the two segments. We now have four smaller line segments left. At the third stage, remove the middle third of each of the remaining segments. Continue in this manner. (a) Draw a picture that illustrates this process. (b) Find a series that gives the total length of the pieces we have removed after the nth stage. (c) If we continue the process indefinitely, what is the total length of the pieces that we remove?

Although the harmonic series does not converge, the partial sums grow very, very slowly. Take a right-hand sum approximating the integral of f(x)=1/x on the interval [1, n], with x = 1, to show that 1 2 + 1 3 + 1 4 + + 1 n < ln n. If a computer could add a million terms of the harmonic series each second, estimate the sum after one year.

. Estimate the sum of the first 100,000 terms of the harmonic series, 100+,000 k=1 1 k , to the closest integer. [Hint: Use left- and right-hand sums of the function f(x)=1/x on the interval from 1 to 100,000 with x = 1.]

Is the following argument true or false? Give reasons for your answer. Consider the infinite series + n=2 1 n(n 1). Since 1 n(n 1) = 1 n 1 1 n we can write this series as + n=2 1 n 1 + n=2 1 n. For the first series an = 1/(n 1). Since n 1 < n we have 1/(n 1) > 1/n and so this series diverges by comparison with the divergent harmonic series + n=2 1 n. The second series is the divergent harmonic series. Since both series diverge, their difference also diverges.
