Which list of values is ordered from least to greatest? A: –8, –|–4|, 0, |–2| B: |–6|, 0, 4, –|–7| C: –|3|, |–2|, 0, 5 D: |–10|, –|–7|, 3, |–9|
I think it's A but this is a 6 point question so I don't want to slip up, lol.
We can go through them all if you want. Let's start with D. Why do you think that isn't the right choice?
It's not in order?
right because |-10|=10 and -|-7|=-7 and 10 is not smaller than -7
what about C?
-10 is smaller than -7 though
yep but those weren't the numbers
D: |–10|, –|–7|, 3, |–9| translates to D: 10,-7,3,9
10 is definitely not smaller than -7
|–10| is a normal 10?
|-10| is just 10
|10| is also just 10
-|10|=-10 -|-10|=-10
Oh oHhHhh
but we had |-10|=10
That cleared up a lot in another question lol. Anyways, C could be an answer
C: –|3|, |–2|, 0, 5 this translates to C: -3,2,0,5 is 2 smaller than 0?
definitely not
so C and D is definitely not the choice
how about B? Can you translate B?
I'll try! |–6|, 0, 4, –|–7| would be 6, 0, 4, -7 which seems all over the place
you did great
and yes that is all over the place
decreasing increasing decreasing
definitely not in order
So it IS A! Thank you so much freckles. rad profile picture too haha
