Order the numbers from smallest to largest (smallest on the far left and largest on the far right)

−3^2
−3 
√9 
|4|
|-5|
2^3

1 answer

Let's evaluate each expression first:

  1. 32 = 9 (Note: this is negative three squared, which is different from (3)2).
  2. 3 = 3
  3. 9 = 3
  4. |4| = 4
  5. |5| = 5
  6. 23 = 8

Now, let's list these results:

  • 9
  • 3
  • 3
  • 4
  • 5
  • 8

Now we can order them from smallest to largest:

9,3,3,4,5,8

So, the final ordered list is:

9,3,3,4,5,8
