Answer: the tuition in 2020 is $502300

Step-by-step explanation:

The annual tuition at a specific college was $20,500 in 2000, and $45,4120 in 2018. Let us assume that the rate of increase is linear. Therefore, the fees in increasing in an arithmetic progression.

The formula for determining the nth term of an arithmetic sequence is expressed as

Tn = a + (n - 1)d

Where

a represents the first term of the sequence.

d represents the common difference.

n represents the number of terms in the sequence.

From the information given,

a = $20500

The fee in 2018 is the 19th term of the sequence. Therefore,

T19 = $45,4120

n = 19

Therefore,

454120 = 20500 + (19 - 1) d

454120 - 20500 = 19d

18d = 433620

d = 24090

Therefore, an

equation that can be used to find the tuition y for x years after 2000 is

y = 20500 + 24090(x - 1)

Therefore, at 2020,

n = 21

y = 20500 + 24090(21 - 1)

y = 20500 + 481800

y = $502300

Find the length of the segment with endpoints of (3,2) and (-3,-6).

MakcuM [25]

The formula of the length of the segment AB:
$A(x_A;\ y_A);\ B(x_B;\ y_B)\\\\|AB|=\sqrt{(x_B-x_A)^2+(y_B-y_A)^2}$
We have:
$A(3;\ 2)\to x_A=3;\ y_A=2\\\\B(-3;\ -6)\to x_B=-3;\ y_B=-6$
Substitute:
$|AB|=\sqrt{(-3-3)^2+(-6-2)^2}=\sqrt{(-6)^2+(-8)^2}\\\\=\sqrt{36+64}=\sqrt{100}=10$
Answer: B) 10.

Describe the slope of the line<br> Find the slope

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

Question one: Zero slope
Question two: $m=\frac{0}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following questions:

<u>Question one:

</u>The following line is what you call a "zero slope." Zero slopes are lines that are neither decreasing or increasing and remain at a constant or just a straight line.

Question two:

Point A = (-2, -3) = (x1, y1)
Point B = (2, -3) = (x2, y2)

Using the formula for slope or rise over run we will solve and find the slope of this line.

$m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$
$m=\frac{-3--3}{2--2} =\frac{0}{4}$
$m=\frac{0}{4}$

The slope of this line is "0/4."

Hope this helps.
