Order the numbers from smallest to largest (smallest on the far left and largest on the far right):(6 points)

l 7 l,
square root of 16
-5
l -2 l
3^2
2^3

1 answer

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

  1. \(7\) is just \(7\).
  2. \(\sqrt{16} = 4\).
  3. \(-5\) is just \(-5\).
  4. \(|-2| = 2\) (the absolute value of \(-2\)).
  5. \(3^2 = 9\).
  6. \(2^3 = 8\).

Now, we have the following numbers to order:

  • \(-5\)
  • \(2\)
  • \(4\)
  • \(7\)
  • \(8\)
  • \(9\)

Now, we can arrange these numbers from smallest to largest:

Smallest to Largest: \(-5, 2, 4, 7, 8, 9\)
