Mathematical Exploration

Consider the following scenario:
Monica and Brian are ready to purchase their first house and have found their dream home, which is
valued at $300,000. After extensive research, they have concluded that their credit union is the best
lender for a mortgage to purchase the home. Their credit union offers them a 15-year fixed-rate
mortgage of 4.4% with a 20% down payment.
For this discussion, your task is as follows:

    credit union loan.
  2. Create another mortgage option and discuss the advantages and disadvantages of your
    mortgage option in comparison to the one offered by the credit union.
