What does it mean to amortize a loan?

To amortize a loan refers to equal and periodic payments (monthly in most of the cases), on which the lender runs some interest ratio due to the amortization.

In other words, it means that the total amount of money the lender is going to "give" you is divide in smaller amount of moneys, which he is gonna lend you periodically, monthly. For example, if you need a $60,000 loan, and your lender propose to lend that money with a 4% of annual interest, that means he is gonna give your $1771.4 per month, he won't give you the whole money, instead he amortize the loan and give your a certain quantity based on the interest rate.

is there a question here?

step-by-step explanation:

to determine whether a given function is even, we simply substitute x with -x in the expression. if the result after simplification is identical to the original equation, then the function is said to be even other wise odd.

f(-x) = (-x)^2 - (-x) + 8

      = x^2 + x +8

the resulting function is not identical to the original one;

f(-x) ≠ f(x)

therefore, f(x) is not an even function
