Key terms and formulas.

Credit & Interest                                         I=Prt | A=P+I | A=P[1+r/n]nt
I = Interest
P = Principal
r = Annual Percent Rate (expressed as a decimal)
t = Length of time in years
------------------------------------------------------------------------
A = Total Amount, including principal and interest

P = Principal
r = Rate
n = Number of compounding periods per year
t = time in years
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Rule of 72
- To quickly estimate the length of time it takes for investment to double, use the 'Rule of 72'. All you need is the interest rate and the number 72. | Divide 72 by interest rate.
----------------------------------------------------------- 

Compound Interest:
> Interest calculated on both the principal and the accrued interest.
Compounding Period:
> Period of time which interest is computed.
Finance Charge:
> Fee charged for the use of credit or the extension of existing credit. May be a flat fee or a percentage of borrowings.

Personal Budgeting
Recurring Expenses:
 > Expenses that you deal with on a regular basis.                 Ex: Rent, Electricity, Car Loan, etc.
Variable Expenses:
 > Expenses that change weekly or monthly.           Ex: Food, Phone bill, Car insurance, shopping, hydro.
Unexpected Expenses:
 > Expenses that you didn't expect to happen.                       Ex: Flat tire, Chipped window, Healthcare.
Budget:
 > A balanced estimate of your income and expenses.                Ex: Amount of money within your pocket.
Regular Income:
 > Income that is received in the same amount.                          Ex: Wage, Salary, Income.
Variable Income:
 > Income that is received at in different amount almost every time.        Ex: Commission, Gifts, Tips, etc.
Conservative Budget:
 > Underestimates income and overestimates expenses
Surplus:
 > Amount of something left over when requirements have been met.
 > More than what is needed or used; excess.
Deficit:
 > The amount by with something, especially a sum of money, is too small.
 > An excess of liabilities over income or assets in given period.

Relations & Patterns:                                              
Dependent Variable:
 > 
a variable in a functional relation whose value is determined by the values assumed by other variables in the relation,
Independent Variable:
 > 
 a variable in a functional relation whose value determines the value or values of other variables
Linear Relations:
 > is the relationship between two variables that appears on a straight line.
Interpolation:
 > estimating values that lie between two data points.
Extrapolation:
 > estimating values that lie beyond the graph
Undefined Slope:
 > the slope of a vertical line; all points on the line have the same x-coordinate.
Zero Slope:
 > the slope of a horizontal line has a 0 slope; all its points have the same y-coordinate.
Slope:
 > A number which is used to indicate the steepness of a line. Indicated by the letter m

Slope Formulas:                                                                      Need Help? Check this out.
Slope-intercept Form | Point Slope Form                                                         

y = Dependent Variable | m = Slope | x = Independent Variable | b = Fixed Value

y = mx + b \,



_____________________________________________

m = Slope | rise/run or y2-y1/x2-x1

m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}.
