Put the numbers on the number line and use the number line to order the numbers from smallest to largest:
|5|
-3 to the power of 2
-3
2 to the power of 3
square root of 9
|-4|
-3 to the power of 2 = (-3)^2 = 9
2 to the power of 3 = 2^3 = 8
square root of 9 = √9 = 3
|-4| = 4
So the numbers, from smallest to largest, are: -3, 4, 5, 8, 9.
i dont understand
I apologize for any confusion. Let me try to explain it step by step.
First, let's place the numbers on the number line.
-3 is to the left of 0, so we place it on the left side of the number line.
Next, we have -3 squared (-3^2). When we square a negative number, it becomes positive, so -3^2 = 9. Place 9 on the number line to the right of 0.
Next, we have 2 to the power of 3 (2^3). 2^3 means 2 multiplied by itself three times, which equals 8. Place 8 on the number line to the right of 9.
Next, we have the square root of 9 (√9). The square root of 9 is 3, so place 3 on the number line to the right of 8.
Finally, we have the absolute value of -4 (|-4|). The absolute value of a number is its distance from 0, irrespective of its sign. The absolute value of -4 is 4. Place 4 on the number line to the right of 3.
So the numbers, from left to right, are: -3, 9, 8, 3, 4.
Now, let's order these numbers from smallest to largest:
-3 is the smallest number.
Next is 3.
Then comes 4.
After that is 8.
Finally, 9 is the largest number.
So the numbers, from smallest to largest, are: -3, 3, 4, 8, 9.
