Smallest number at the bottom

1. |5|
2. -3^2
3. 2^3
4. |-4|
5. -3
6. 9

Answer 1

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)
