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.

What are all values of x for which the series shown converges? ​
adoni [48]

Answer:

One convergence criteria that is useful here is that, if aₙ is the n-th term of this sequence, then we must have:

Iaₙ₊₁I < IaₙI

This means that the absolute value of the terms must decrease as n increases.

Then we must have:

\frac{(x -2)^n}{n*3^n} > \frac{(x -2 )^{n+1}}{(n + 1)*3^{n+1}}

We can write this as:

\frac{(x -2)^n}{n*3^n} > \frac{(x -2 )^{n+1}}{(n + 1)*3^{n+1}} = \frac{(x -2)^n}{(n + 1)*3^n} * \frac{(x - 2)}{3}

If we assume that n is a really big number, then:

n + 1 ≈ 1

And we can write:

\frac{(x -2)^n}{n*3^n} > \frac{(x -2)^n}{(n)*3^n} * \frac{(x - 2)}{3}

Then we have the inequality

1 > (x - 2)/3

And remember that this must be in absolute value, then we will have that:

-1 < (x - 2)/3 < 1

-3 < x - 2 < 3

-3 + 2 < x < 3 + 2

-1 < x < 5

The first option looks like this, but it uses the symbols ≤≥, so it is not the same as this, then the correct option will be the second.

Which function is the inverse of f(x) = 2x + 3?
lianna [129]

Answer:

y = 1/2x - 3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

The easiest way to find the inverse is to switch x and y and solve for y.

y = 2x + 3

x = 2y + 3 (Switch)

x-3 = 2y (Subtract y from both sides)

x/2 - 3/2 = y (Divide both sides by 2)

A fraction reduces to 36. If its denominator is 6x5, what is its numerator?
olchik [2.2K]
If you would like to find the numerator of a fraction, you can do this using the following steps:

denominator ... 6 * 5 = 30
numerator ... x = ?

36 = numerator / denominator
36 = x / 30
x = 36 * 30
x = 1080

The correct result would be 1080.
