College Loans
I will likely utilize a government subsidized loan. With a subsidized loan, you aren't required to begin making payments until you graduate.
If I took out a $5,000 loan for each of my first four years of college, I would have a total loan amount of $20,000. Therefore, P=20,000. The interest rate on a subsidized loan is 3.86%, so r=0.0386. I will pay back the loan over 20 years, so t=20.
A=P(1+r)^t
A=20,000(1.0386)^20 = $42,657.59 total/240 months = $177.74 per month = $41.02 per week = $5.84 per day
Other loan options include government non-subsidized loans, credit union loans, or bank loans. Non-subsidized loans have an interest rate of 3.86%, like subsidized loans, but payments begin before graduating. The interest rate on credit union loans begins at 2.76% for a variable rate private student loan and 6.74% for a fixed rate private student loan. A typical bank loan would have an interest rate of 5.49%.

Geogebra Art
I created this piece of art using geogebra. I used many different functions to achieve the finished result. The families of functions I used included sin, cos, tan, sec, and cot. The functions I used were as follows:
Using positives, negatives, and fractions I was able to create a unique piece of art featuring many different types of functions and graphs. The addition of colors pushed it past the point of gaudy and into the realm of extraordinary!
