Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
The first step to solving this problem is verifying if this sequence is an arithmetic sequence or a geometric sequence.
This sequence is arithmetic if:

We have that:




This is not an arithmetic sequence.
This sequence is geometric if:




This is a geometric sequence, in which:
The first term is 40, so 
The common ratio is
, so
.
We have that:

The 10th term is
. So:



Simplifying by 4, we have:

The Length would be 3
5+5= 10
16-10 =6 / 2 =3
Answer: yes, it is a smaller temperature, which means that is "colder"
Step-by-step explanation:
I guess that the question is:
Is -10°F colder than - 4°C?
Ok, when we have a temperature T in Celcius, the equation to transform this quantity to the Fahrenheit scale is:
T' = (T*9/5) + 32°
Replacing T by the temperature in celcius, we get:
T' = (-4°*9/5) + 32° = 24.8°F
This means that -4°C is equivalent to 24.8°F
And -10°F is a smaller value than 24.8°F (which mean that is colder)
This implies that -10°F is colder than -4°C
Then the statement is true.
Answer:
$46
Step-by-step explanation:
40(0.15) = 6 (this is the amount of the tip)
40 + 6 = 46 (add the tip to the bill)
Gross pay = 500
deductions :
medicare tax : 0.0145(500) = 7.25
S.S tax : 0.062(500) = 31.00
sales tax : 0.02(500) = 10.00
income tax : 0.2(500) = 100
insurance = 20
total deductions : 7.25 + 31 + 10 + 100 + 20 = 168.25
gross pay - deductions = net pay
500 - 168.25 = net pay
331.75 = net pay <===
