7. Martina decides to open a bank account to help her to save for a holiday. Each month she puts \(\pounds \mathrm { k }\) into the account and allows herself to spend one quarter of what was in the account at the end of the previous month.
Let \(u _ { n }\) (where \(\mathrm { n } \geqslant 1\) ) represent the amount in the account at the end of month n .
Martina has \(\pounds \mathrm {~K}\) in the account at the end of the first month.
- By setting up a first order recurrence relation for \(u _ { n + 1 }\) in terms of \(u _ { n }\), determine an expression for \(u _ { n }\) in terms of n and k
At the end of the 8th month, Martina needs to have at least \(\pounds 1750\) in the account to pay for her holiday.
- Determine, to the nearest penny, the minimum amount of money that Martina should put into the account each month.
