Suppose you take out a mortgage for

A

dollars at a monthly interest rate

I

and a monthly payment

P

(To calculate

I

: if the annual interest rate is

12%

, divide by 12 to get a monthly rate of

1%

, then replace the percentage with the decimal fraction 0.01.) Let

A_(n)

denote the amount you have left to pay off after

n

months. So,

A_(0)=A

by definition. At the end of each month, you are first charged interest on all the money you owed during the month, and then your payment is subtracted. So,

A_(n+1)=A_(n)(1+I)-P

Prove by induction that

A_(n)=(A-(P)/(I))(1+I)^(n)+(P)/(I)
