Question

Put in order from largest to smallest

2 cubed
-3 squared
-3
square root of nine
|5|
|-4|

Answer 1

Let's calculate each of the values first.

1. **2 cubed**: \(2^3 = 8\)
2. **-3 squared**: \((-3)^2 = 9\)
3. **-3**: This is simply \(-3\).
4. **Square root of nine**: \(\sqrt{9} = 3\)
5. **|5|**: The absolute value of 5 is \(5\).
6. **|-4|**: The absolute value of -4 is \(4\).

Now we have the following values:

- 2 cubed: \(8\)
- -3 squared: \(9\)
- -3: \(-3\)
- Square root of nine: \(3\)
- |5|: \(5\)
- |-4|: \(4\)

Now, ordering these from largest to smallest:

1. -3 squared: \(9\)
2. 2 cubed: \(8\)
3. |5|: \(5\)
4. |-4|: \(4\)
5. Square root of nine: \(3\)
6. -3: \(-3\)

So the order from largest to smallest is:

-9, 8, 5, 4, 3, -3
