Question

Put these numbers in order from least to greatest.
-(the square root sign)106 -5(pie) -23

Answer 1

To put the numbers in order from least to greatest, we first need to evaluate each one:

1. \(-\sqrt{106}\): This is the negative square root of 106. The approximate value is \(-10.30\) (since \(\sqrt{106} \approx 10.30\)).

2. \(-5\pi\): The approximate value of \(\pi\) is about 3.14, so:
\[
-5\pi \approx -5 \times 3.14 = -15.7
\]

3. \(-23\): This value is -23.

Now we have the approximate values:

- \(-\sqrt{106} \approx -10.30\)
- \(-5\pi \approx -15.7\)
- \(-23\)

Now we can compare these values:

- \(-23\) is the least.
- \(-5\pi \approx -15.7\) (the next greatest).
- \(-\sqrt{106} \approx -10.30\) (the greatest).

Putting them in order from least to greatest, we have:

\[-23, -5\pi, -\sqrt{106}\]
