Order the numbers from smallest to largest

Question

1. |4|
2. sqrt9
3. -3
4. |-5|
5. -3^2
6. 2^3

Answer 1

Let's evaluate each expression:

1. $|4|=4$
2. $\sqrt{9}=3$
3. $-3=-3$
4. $|-5|=5$
5. $-3^2=-9$ (Note: This is interpreted as $-(3^2)=-9$ because exponentiation has a higher precedence than negation.)
6. $2^3=8$

Now we have the evaluated numbers:

• $4$
• $3$
• $-3$
• $5$
• $-9$
• $8$

Now, order these numbers from smallest to largest:

• $-9$
• $-3$
• $3$
• $4$
• $5$
• $8$

So the numbers ordered from smallest to largest are: $$-9,-3,3,4,5,8$$
