Answer:

  • 9 digit long

Let the number of digits be n and the number of elements in set be s.

<h3>When n = 1</h3>
  • The set contains 1-digit numbers, 1 through 9,
  • The set consists of 10 - 1 = 9 numbers.

<h3>When n = 2</h3>
  • The set contains 2-digit numbers, 10 through 99,
  • The set contains 100 - 10 = 90 numbers.

<h3>When n = 3</h3>
  • The set contains 3-digit numbers, 100 through 999,
  • The set contains 1000 - 100 = 900 numbers.

The pattern we see helps us determine the relationship between s and n as follows.

When set contains n-digit numbers, the set contains:

  • s = 10ⁿ - 10ⁿ⁻¹ = 10ⁿ⁻¹(10 - 1) = 9*10ⁿ⁻¹ elements

We have s known, substitute it into equation above and solve for n:

  • 900000000 = 9*10ⁿ¹
  • 100000000 = 10ⁿ⁻¹
  • 10⁸ = 10ⁿ⁻¹
  • n - 1 = 8
  • n = 9

The numbers in the set s are 9-digit long.

Car rentals involve a $130 flat fee and an additional cost of $31.67 a day. what is the maximum number of days you can rent a ca
Vladimir79 [104]
Represent the number of days by x. With this representation, the variable cost of the rental is 31.67x. The total cost is the sum of the fixed and variable costs. This value should not be more than $500. The equation below shows the relationship.
                                          130 + 31.67x ≤ 500

Solving for x gives x ≤ 11.68
Thus, the maximum number of days to rent the car is only 11 days.
