Hey there! I'm happy to help!

Let's convert the decimals to fraction form.

0.5=5/10=1/2

-1/7

-0.2= -2/10= -1/5

1/3

We know that the bigger the number in the denominator, the smaller the fraction is if the numerators are all the same.

First off, we have the negative numbers which are smaller than the other numbers. We have -1/7 and -1/5. We know that the 1/5 is a bigger fraction, but it is negatively bigger, so that is going to be the lesser number.

-1/5, -1/7

And with our bigger ones, we have 1/3 and 1/2. 1/2 is the bigger number here, so that will be the last one. Let's also be sure to convert back to our original forms! Here is our order :

-0.2, -1/7, 1/3, 0.5

Have a wonderful day and keep on learning! :D

You need 16 more terms not 17 because you already have 4 terms in the series so if you add those 4 terms to the other 16 terms to the series you get a total of 20 terms in total. I hope this helped.

lozanna [386]

Answer:

A. Q = 15 °C

B.  0.4 °C

C. Q = 23 °C

Step-by-step explanation:

The following equation models the temperature of Quin's home,

Q = 15 + 0.4t

Where Q is the temperature in degree Celsius and t is the time in minutes

A. What was the temperature when Quinn returned from vacation?

At this time, t = 0 since Quin is just arrived

Q = 15 + 0.4(0)

Q = 15 °C

B. how much does the temperature increase every minute?

0.4(t)

0.4(1)

0.4 °C

The temperature increases by 0.4 centigrade every minute.

C. How much will the temperature increase if Quinn leaves the heat on for 20 minutes

For t = 20 mins

Q = 15 + 0.4(20)

Q = 15 + 8

Q = 23 °C
