Question

, 0.5, 9–√
, −2
. Put them in the correct order on the number line.(2 points)

A: answer
B: answer
C: answer
D: answer

Answer 1

To order the given numbers on a number line, we need to first evaluate and compare them:

1. \(-32\)
2. \(0.5\)
3. \(9 - \sqrt{9}\): since \(\sqrt{9} = 3\), this simplifies to \(9 - 3 = 6\).
4. \(-2\)

Now, let's list the numbers from smallest to largest:

• \(-32\)
• \(-2\)
• \(0.5\)
• \(6\)

So, the correct order on the number line is:

A: \(-32\)
B: \(-2\)
C: \(0.5\)
D: \(6\)
