Question

Order the numbers from smallest to largest (smallest on the far left and largest on the far right): (6 points)
-3^2
|4|
-3
|-5|
2^3
chech mark 9

Answer 1

To order the numbers from smallest to largest, we first need to evaluate each expression:

1. **-3^2**: This is equal to \(-9\) because the exponent applies to the 3 only, not the negative sign.
2. **|4|**: This is the absolute value of 4, which equals \(4\).
3. **-3**: This is \(-3\).
4. **|-5|**: This is the absolute value of \(-5\), which equals \(5\).
5. **2^3**: This equals \(8\).
6. **Check mark 9**: Assuming this refers to the number \(9\).

Now, we list the evaluated numbers:
- \(-9\)
- \(4\)
- \(-3\)
- \(5\)
- \(8\)
- \(9\)

Now we can order them from smallest to largest:

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

Thus, the final ordered list is:
\[-9, -3, 4, 5, 8, 9\]
