The bar graph shows the average dormitory charges at public and private four-year U.S. colleges. Use the information displayed by the graph to solve,a. Use the numbers shown by the bar graph to find the total dormitory charges at private colleges for a four-year period from the school year ending in 2010 through the school year ending in 2013.
b. The model an = 198n + 5037 describes the dormitory charges at private colleges in academic year n, where n = 1 corresponds to the school year ending in 2010, n = 2 to the school year ending in 2011, and so on. Use this model and the formula for Sn to find the total dormitory charges at private colleges for a four-year period from the school year ending in 2010 through the school year ending in 2013.
