Answer:

Option B.  house B; monthly payment of $1,550.89 is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to calculate the highest payment Pete can afford we have to subtract his expenses from his housing budget.

Given

Total housing budget = $2250

Monthly costs = $215.75

Utilities = $143.50

Taxes = $273

First all expenses can be added together to subtract from the housing budget.

So

Monthly\ costs = Insurance\ +\ Utilities\ +\ taxes\\ = \$215.75 + \$143.50 + \$273\\= \$632.25

Now the total monthly cost will be subtracted from housing budget.

Amount\ for\ monthly\ payment = Housing\ budget - Monthly\ Expenses\\=\$2250\ -\ \$632.25\\=\$1617.75

Hence, he saves $1617.75 for monthly payment.

Looking at the options, C and D will be ruled out as both the quantities are greater than 1617.75

Option A and B both are smaller than 1617.75 but as $1,550.89>$1,327.18, Option B is the highest monthly payment Pete can afford.

Hence,

Option B.  house B; monthly payment of $1,550.89 is the correct answer.

The ball will be at height 19 feet first at 0.7 sec and then at 1.42 sec.

<u>Explanation:</u>

We need to find the time at which the ball will be at height 19 feet.

Equation:

h = 3 + 34t - 16t²

19 = 3 + 34t - 16t²

16 = -16t² + 34t

-16t² + 34t - 16 = 0

On solving the equation, we get

t1 = 0.7 s and t2 = 1.42s

Therefore, the ball will be at height 19 feet first at 0.7 sec and then at 1.42 sec.
