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 sum of the digits of the number 6+66+666+6666 + ... +666...66, where the last number contains 100 digits.

Contact [7]

Answer:

Sum of the digits of the number

$= ((\frac{60((10)^{100}-1) }{81}) - \frac{600}{9} )$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step(i):-

Given series

6+66+666+6666 + ... +666...66 up to 100 digits

Taking common '6'

6 ( 1 + 11 +111+ 1111+1111+.................11111....11 100 digits)

Multiply '9' and divisible by'9'

$\frac{6}{9} X9( 1+11 +111 +1111 +1111+ ..........11111..up to .100 digits )$

Multiply inside '9'

$\frac{6}{9}( 9+99 +999 +9999 +.....+ ..........9999..up to .100 digits )$

$\frac{6}{9}( (10-1)+(100-1)+(1000-1) +(10,000-1)+.....+ ............up to .100 digits )$

$\frac{6}{9}( (10)+(100)+(1000) +(10,000)+.....+ ............up to .100 digits ) - ( 1+1+1+1+........up to 100 digits)$

Step(ii):-

we know that sum of geometric series

$S_{n} = \frac{a(r^{n}-1) }{r-1}$

we know that

a + a + a+........n terms = n a

$\frac{6}{9}( (10)+(10)^{2} +(10)^{3} +(10)^4+.....+ ............up to .100 digits - (100(1))$ ....(i)

The sum of the 100 digits in geometric series

$S_{100} = \frac{10((10)^{100}-1) }{10-1}$

Now the equation (i)

The sum of the digits of the number

$= \frac{6}{9} ((\frac{10((10)^{100}-1) }{10-1}) - 100)$

Final answer :-

Sum of the digits of the number

$= ((\frac{60((10)^{100}-1) }{81}) - \frac{600}{9} )$

Does the states’ growing dependence on Washington have any bearing on lawmakers’ relationship with the people? Are people today

Hoochie [10]

Answer:YES, PEOPLE ARE LESS LIKELY TO HOLD STATE OFFICIALS RESPONSIBLE FOR SOCIAL PROBLEMS.

Step-by-step explanation:States growing dependence on Washington has effects on lawmakers relationship with the people,since people tend to blame the Federal Government for whatever social problems they have,this will make the people see the State Government as irresponsible and thus lose focus on them.

Since the States are increasingly depending on the Federal Government (Washington), PEOPLE TODAY ARE LESS LIKELY TO HOLD STATE OFFICIALS RESPONSIBLE FOR SOCIAL ILLS/PROBLEMS.

This is the case with most of the developing countries like Nigeria where most of the people tend to blame the Federal Government for most social problems because they know that the States rely solely on the Federal Government.
