Determine the maximum and minimum values of the folloing set of numbers:2,-8,1/2,-5/3,9/4,-7,-73-9
positive ones
1/2, 2, 9/4
is 9/4 bigger than 2?
yes, 8/4 is 2
negative ones, which is bigger number ?
73 is biggest negative, therefore minimum
PS
If you graph these on a number line, they will make sense to you.
To find the maximum and minimum values in a set of numbers, follow these steps:
1. List all the numbers: 2, -8, 1/2, -5/3, 9/4, -7, -73, -9.
2. Compare the numbers one by one to identify the maximum (the largest) and minimum (the smallest) values.
Comparing the numbers visually, we can see that:
-73 is the smallest number, and
9/4 is the largest number.
So, the maximum value is 9/4, and the minimum value is -73.
