22. Jeff wins $600,000 (after taxes) in the lottery and decides to invest half of it in a 10-year CD that pays 7.25% interest compounded monthly. He invests the other half in a money market fund that unfortunately turns out to average only 3.2% interest compounded annually over the 10-year period. How much money will he have altogether in the two accounts at the end of the 10-year period?

Answer:

23. The average annual tuition and fees at all 4-year institutions in the US in 1982 was $10,385 and in 2012 was $ 23,872. Let y be the average tuition and fees in the year x, where x = 0 represents the year 1982. (12 points)

a) Write a linear equation, in slope-intercept form, that models the growth in average tuition and fees at all 4-year institutions in the US in terms of the year x.
