if I am not showing, I am stll typing

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

Please, note that if I order your numbers I get this: \[\left\{ { - 2.4,\;\; - 1.5,\;\;1.3,\;\;3.2,\;\;8} \right\}\]

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

I am sure you know \(\large\color{black}{ \displaystyle ( }\) about \(\large\color{black}{ \displaystyle {\rm positive~numbers} }\) that \(\large\color{black}{ ) }\) \(\large\color{black}{ \displaystyle 5>4 }\) \(\large\color{black}{ \displaystyle 10>9.555 }\) \(\large\color{black}{ \displaystyle 3.45>3.6 }\) (the bigger the value/magnitude the greater it is) For \(\large\color{black}{ \displaystyle {\rm negative~numbers} }\) it is the other way. Such that, \(\large\color{black}{ \displaystyle -5<-4 }\) \(\large\color{black}{ \displaystyle -10<-9.555 }\) \(\large\color{black}{ \displaystyle -3.45<-3.6 }\) Why is this so? |dw:1424972551841:dw| So, the negative numbers of a smaller value/magnitude/(absolute value) will be ":greater". And certainly that: \(\large\color{black}{ \displaystyle {\rm negative~~numbers}~<~0~<~{\rm positive~~numbers} }\)

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

(So all negative numbers are smaller than zero, and all positive numbers are greater than 0.)
