Final answer:
To list the given numbers in descending order, we calculate that −130 is approximately between 11.4 and 11.5, and −121 is exactly 11. Therefore, in descending order, the list is 12, −130 (around 11.4 to 11.5), −121 (11), and 11.1.
Step-by-step explanation:
To list the numbers −121, 12, 11.1, and −130 in descending order, we will first need to establish their approximate values. The square root of 121, −121, is 11 and the square root of 130, −130, is between 11.4 and 11.5. Knowing this, we can place them in sequence with the provided numbers.
- −130 ≈ 11.4 to 11.5
- 12
- −121 = 11
- 11.1
In descending order, the sequence is: 12, −130, −121, 11.1.
