Question

Order these from least to greatest

(1,2) , (4,2) , (4,4) , (4,6)

Answer 1

To order the pairs from least to greatest, we can compare the first elements of each pair. If two pairs have the same first element, we then compare the second elements.

The pairs are:

1. (1, 2)
2. (4, 2)
3. (4, 4)
4. (4, 6)

Now, let's order them:

1. (1, 2) - First element is 1, which is the smallest.
2. (4, 2) - First element is 4, next smallest.
3. (4, 4) - Same first element as (4, 2), but the second element 4 is greater than 2.
4. (4, 6) - Same first element as (4, 2) and (4, 4), but the second element 6 is greater than 4.

So the order from least to greatest is:

(1, 2), (4, 2), (4, 4), (4, 6).
