There’s an algebra quiz tomorrow, and I’m wholly unprepared; however, I’m going to waste more time by organising every formula for this unit (Unit 10, series and their sums) in one post. Actually, this might be helpful for finals.

t(n) = t(1) + r(n - 1)

This formula is used for arithmetic sequences. The “t” stands for the corresponding term of the sequence. The “n” is the number of the term in question (for example, the fourth term, fifth term, etc.). The “r” stands for the ratio of the first term to the second, and so on (for example, if each term is adding 2, then the “r” would be 2). So, for the sequence 0, 2, 4, 6,..., the equation would be: t(n) = 0 + 2(n - 1).

t(n) = t(1)(r - 1)^n

This formula is used for geometric sequences. The “t” again stands for the corresponding term of the sequence, and the “n” again stands for the the number of the term in question. The “r” still stands for the ratio. So, for the sequence 1, 4, 16, 64,..., the equation would be: t(n) = (1)(4)^n.

S(A) = (n(a(1) + a(n))) / 2

This formula is used for the sum of arithmetic sequences, and it’s simple to just refer to it as the “Nathan equation,” as it appears to spell out “natan.” The “n” stands for the number of the term in question. The “a” stands for the term which the corresponding “n” dictates (for example, n = 3 and the third term is 4, so a(n) = 4 while a(1) might equal 0). The “S” simply stands for sum, and the “A” for arithmetic. For the sequence 0, 2, 4, 6,..., the equation would be: S(A) = (n(0 + a(n)))/2.

S(G) = (t(1)(r^n - 1)) / (r - 1)

This formula is used for the sum of geometric sequences. The “t” stands for term. The “r” stands for the ratio, and the “n” stands for the number of the term(s) in question. “G” and “S” simply refer to “geometric” and “sum,” respectively. So, if the sequence is 1, 4, 16, 64,..., the equation would be: S(G) = (1(4^n - 1)) / (4 - 1). 

Please correct me if I’m wrong on any points, but these are the formulas I’ve been taught in class. If I’m mistaken, it’d be helpful to explain, since I have the assessment soon after the quiz. Hopefully this is accurate enough to help someone!

How Credit Scoring Works By Nick Ihrke

One thing that some people dont realize is that they dont have just one DD EE FF score, they have several. There is currently more than 100 DD EE FF-scoring models being marketed to lenders, the most common being the FICO, which is designed to predict whether a borrower will default. New information is always being added to your report and old information is being deleted. These constant changes can affect your score.

These DD EE FF-scoring programs do the following:

Detect fraud in DD EE FF or insurance applications Calculate the amount of profit a DD EE FF card issuer is likely to make on a particular amount Predict the risk of a default by the consumer Forecast the probability that a policyholder will cost an insurer money Estimate how much the borrower is likely to pay on any delinquent account Anticipate which customers might close a DD EE FF card account or pay the balance to zero Predict the likelihood that someone will respond to a direct-mail DD EE FF card solicitation Lenders are most likely to base their decisions off of the FICO score or its cousin, the NextGen score, than any other type of DD EE FF score. FICO is the industry leader and is used in about 75 percent of mortgage-lending assessments.

With this in mind, if you have a bad score, you dont have to be stuck with it. On the flip side, if you have a good score, you need to make sure you maintain and monitor it.

The Most Important Factors

Your Payment History This makes up about 35 percent of your score. This is because it is a record of you paying your bills and it shows how responsible you are. Lenders use this to see if you have a history of paying on time or if youve had late payments. If you do have a late payment on your record, three factors come into play; 1)Recency How recent you have had a late payment. The more time that has passed since the problem, the less it impacts a score. 2) Frequency A person who only has a couple late payments is more acceptable than someone who has several. 3) Severity A payment that is only 30 days late is considered as serious as one that is 60+ days overdue.

How Much You Owe This constitutes to about 30 percent of your score. It takes into account the total amount owed on all your accounts as well as how much you how on each type of DD EE FF accounts (credit card, auto loan, mortgages, etc.) Using a higher percentage of your DD EE FF limit will make lenders hesitate and could hurt your score. People who max out their DD EE FF cards are much more likely to default than those who dont. The bigger the gap between your balance and your limit, the better. Lenders report your balances to the DD EE FF bureaus usually once a month (sometimes only every other month or quarterly). If you paid off your balance the day after they reported it, it will still show on your report until the next time they report the up to date balances, so be careful how much you charge and how much of a balance you carry month to month. Lastly, the score also looks at how much you have left on installment loans compared to what was originally borrowed.

How Long Youve Had Credit This makes up about 15 percent of your score. Even though it may be less than the other previous factors, it is still important. You can have a decent DD EE FF score with a short DD EE FF history, but the longer youve had it, the better. Your score takes into account both the age of your oldest account and the average age of all your accounts.

Your Last Application For Credit This is about 10 percent of your score. Opening new accounts can drop your score some, especially if you have applied for multiple DD EE FF accounts in a short time and your history isnt very long. You may have heard that “shopping around” for DD EE FF might hurt your score, but the FICO score takes into account that people tend to do that for mortgages and auto financing. Pulling your own DD EE FF report and score shouldnt affect your score. As long as you are doing it yourself, it shouldnt count against you.

The Types Of Credit You Use The final 10 percent of your score. The FICO scoring system likes to see a variety of types of DD EE FF. This doesnt mean you need a loan of each possible type to have a good score, so dont apply for DD EE FF thinking you need it to try to boost your score, since that could come back to haunt you. To get high scores, you need to have both revolving lines of DD EE FF (i.e. DD EE FF cards) and installment loans (i.e. auto loans and mortgages). Credit cards through a bank are usually better for your DD EE FF score than department store or other “finance company” cards. Installment loans are good because lenders will usually require more documentation about your financial history before granting the loan.
