### Eureka Math Algebra 2 Module 3 Lesson 29 Opening Exercise Answer Key

Opening Exercise:

Suppose you invested $1,000 in an account that paid an annual interest rate of 3% compounded monthly. How much would you have after 1 year? Answer: Since F = 1000 $$\left(1+\frac{0.03}{12}\right)^{12}$$ we have F = (1.0025)12 =$1,030.42.

### Eureka Math Algebra 2 Module 3 Lesson 29 Example Answer Key

Example 1:

Let a, ar, ar2, ar3, ar4, ….. be a geometric sequence with first term a and common ratio r. Show that the sum Sn, of the first n terms of the geometric series
Sn = a + ar + ar2 + ar3 + ……. +arn – 1 (r ≠ 1) is given by the equation
Sn = a$$\left(\frac{1-r^{n}}{1-r}\right)$$
→ Multiply both sides of the equation Sn = a + ar + ar2 + ar3 + ……. +arn – 1 by r.
r . Sn = ar + ar2 + ar3 + ……. + arn – 1 + arn

→ Compare the terms on the right-hand side of the old and new equations:
Sn = a + ar + ar2 + ar3 + ……. +arn – 1
r . Sn = ar + ar2 + ar3 + ……. + arn – 1 + arn

→ What are the only terms on the right-hand side of the original equation and the new equation that are not found in both?
The only terms that are not found in both are a and arn.

→ Therefore, when we subtract Sn – rSn, all the common terms on the right-hand side of the equations subtract to zero leaving only a – arn (after applying the associative and commutative properties repeatedly):

Sn – rSn = (a + ar + ar2 + ….. + arn – 1) – (ar + ar2 + …. + arn – 1 + arn)
= a + (ar – ar) + (ar2 – ar2) + …. +(rn – 1 – arn – 1) – arn
= a – arn

→ Isolate S, in the equation Sn – rSn = a – arn to get the formula (when r ≠ 1):
Sn(1 – r) = a(1 – rn)
⇒ Sn = a$$\left(\frac{1-r^{n}}{1-r}\right)$$.

Exercises 1 – 3:

Exercise 1.
Find the sum of the geometric series 3 + 6 + 12 + 24 + 48 + 96 + 192.
The first term is 3, so a = 3. The common ratio is 6/3 = 2, so r = 2. Since there are 7 terms, n = 7.
Thus, S7 = 3 . $$\frac{1-2^{7}}{1-2}$$, or S7 = 381.

Exercise 2.
Find the sum of the geometric series 40 + 40(1.005) + 40(1.005)2 + ……….. + 40(1.005)11.
Reading directly off the sum, a = 40, r = 1.005, and n = 12.
Thus, S12 = 40 . $$\left(\frac{1-1.005^{12}}{1-1.005}\right)$$, so S12 ≈ 493.42.

Exercise 3.
Describe a situation that might lead to calculating the sum of the geometric series in Exercise 2.
Investing $40 a month into an account with an annual interest rate of 6% compounded monthly (or investing$40 a month into an account with an interest rate of 0.05% per month) can lead to the geometric series in Exercise 2.

Example 2:

A $100 deposit is made at the end of every month for 12 months in an account that earns interest at an annual interest rate of 3% compounded monthly. How much will be in the account immediately after the last payment? Answer: The total amount is the sum 100 + 100(1.025)+ 100(1.025)2 + ….. + 100(1.025)11. This is a geometric series with a = 100, r = 1. 025, and n = 12. Using the formula for the sum of a geometric series, S12 = 100 $$\left(\frac{1-1.025^{12}}{1-1.025}\right)$$, so S ≈ 1379.56. The account will have$1, 379.56 in it immediately after the last payment.

Discussion:

An annuity is a series of payments made at fixed intervals of time. Examples of annuities include structured savings plans, lease payments, loans, and monthly home mortgage payments. The term annuity sounds like it is only a yearly payment, but annuities often require payments monthly, quarterly, or semiannually. The future amount of the annuity, denoted Af, is the sum of all the individual payments made plus all the interest generated from those payments over the specified period of time.

We can generalize the structured savings plan example above to get a generic formula for calculating the future value of an annuity Af, in terms of the recurring payment R, interest rate i, and number of payment periods n. In the example above, we had a recurring payment of R = 100, an interest rate per time period of i = 0.025, and 12 payments, so n = 12. To make things simpler, we always assume that the payments and the time period in which interest is compounded are at the same time. That is, we do not consider plans where deposits are made halfway through the month with interest compounded at the end of the month.

In the example, the amount Af, of the structured savings plan annuity was the sum of all payments plus the interest accrued for each payment:

Af = R + R(1 + i)1 + R(1 + i)2 + …. + R(1 + i)n – 1

This, of course, is a geometric series with n terms, a = R, and r = 1 + i, which after substituting into the formula for a geometric series and rearranging is,
Af = R$$\left(\frac{(1+i)^{n}-1}{i}\right)$$

Exercises 4 – 5:

Exercise 4.

a. $$\sum_{k=0}^{5}$$k
$$\sum_{k=0}^{5}$$k = 0 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 = 15

b. $$\sum_{k=0}^{5}$$j2
$$\sum_{k=0}^{5}$$j2 = 52 + 62 + 72 = 25 + 36 + 49 = 110

c. $$\sum_{i=2}^{4} \frac{1}{i}$$
$$\sum_{i=2}^{4} \frac{1}{i}$$ = $$\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{4}=\frac{13}{12}$$

Exercise 5.
Write each sum using summation notation. Do not evaluate the sum.

a. 14 + 24 + 34 + 44 + 54 + 64 + 74 + 84 + 94
$$\sum_{k=1}^{9} k^{4}$$

b. 1 + cos(π) + cos(2π) + cos(3π) + cos(4π) + cos(5π)

Answer: The biggest benefit is that instead of paying interest on a loan, you earn interest on your savings. The drawbacks include that you have to wait to get what you want. Question 22. An arithmetic series is a series whose terms form an arithmetic sequence. For example, 2 + 4 + 6 + + 100 is an arithmetic series since 2, 4, 6, 8, …, 100 is an arithmetic sequence with constant difference 2. The most famous arithmetic series is 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + ….. + n for some positive integer n. We studied this series in Algebra I and showed that its sum is Sn = $$= 2 . It can be shown that the general formula for the sum of an arithmetic series a + (a + d) + (a + 2d) + … + [a + (n – 1)d] is Sn = [latex]\frac{n}{2}$$[2a + (n – 1)d], where a is the first term and d is the constant difference. a.

The sum of the first nine terms of an arithmetic series is 135, and the first term is 17. Find the ninth term. Answer: 135 = $$\frac{9}{2}$$(17 + a9) 30 = 17+ a9 13 = a9 13 = 17 + d(8) -4 = d(8) d = –$$\frac{1}{2}$$ Question 25. The sum of the first and 100th terms of an arithmetic series is 101. Find the sum of the first 100 terms. Answer: S100 = $$\frac{100}{2}$$(101) = 5050. ### Eureka Math Algebra 2 Module 3 Lesson 29 Exit Ticket Answer Key Question 1. Martin attends a financial planning conference and creates a budget for himself, realizing that he can afford to put away$200 every month in savings and that he should be able to keep this up for two years. If Martin has the choice between an account earning an interest rate of 2.3% yearly versus an account earning an annual interest rate of 2. 125% compounded monthly, which account gives Martin the largest return in two years?
Af = R$$\left(\frac{(1+i)^{n}-1}{i}\right)$$
Af = 2400$$\left(\frac{(1.023)^{2}-1}{0.023}\right)$$ = 4855.20
Af = 200$$\left(\frac{\left(1+\frac{0.0215}{12}\right)^{24}-1}{\frac{0.0215}{12}}\right)$$ ≈ 4900.21
