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

  1. |5| = 5
  2. -3^2 = -9 (since -3^2 is calculated as -(3^2))
  3. 2^3 = 8
  4. |-4| = 4
  5. -3 = -3
  6. 9 = 9

Now we list the evaluated results:

  • |5| = 5
  • -3^2 = -9
  • 2^3 = 8
  • |-4| = 4
  • -3 = -3
  • 9 = 9

Now, we order these numbers from largest to smallest:

  1. 9
  2. 8
  3. 5
  4. 4
  5. -3
  6. -9

So the final ordered list is:

  1. 9
  2. 8
  3. |5| (5)
  4. |-4| (4)
  5. -3
  6. -3^2 (-9)
