o$.$ A computer system considers a string of $n1$ decimal digits valid if an even number of its digits are equal to $9.$ For example, $12345$ is valid, as is $90909090909,$ but $999$ is invalid. Let $a_n$ be the number of strings of $n$ decimal digits which are valid, and let $b_n$ be the number of strings of $n$ decimal strings which are invalid.

$($a$)$ Explain why $a_n+b_n={10}^n.$

$($b$)$ Find a recurrence relation for the sequence $(a_n{)}_{n}1.$

$($c$)$ Prove that $a_n>b_n$ for all $n1,$ that is$,$ there are more valid strings of a given length than invalid ones.
