Question

range the expressions in ascending order of their values when x=-2. (1--2²)/(1-2-2),(-2²-1)/(1-2-2),(2-2²+-2)/(2),(3-2²+1)/(2(-2-1))

Answer 1

The expressions evaluated at x=-2 and arranged in ascending order are -2, -1, 0, 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

The task is to arrange the expressions in ascending order of their values when x=-2. Let's evaluate each expression step by step.

1. 
   ((1 - (-2)²) / (1 - 2 - 2)) simplifies to ((1 - 4) / (1 - 2 - 2)) = ((-3) / (-3)) = 1.
   
2. 
   ((-2)² - 1) / (1 - 2 - 2)) simplifies to (4 - 1) / (-3) = 3 / (-3) = -1.
   
3. 
   ((2 - 2² + (-2)) / 2) simplifies to ((2 - 4 - 2) / 2) = (-4/2) = -2.
   
4. 
   ((3 - 2² + 1) / (2 * (-2 - 1))) simplifies to ((3 - 4 + 1) / (-6)) = (0 / (-6)) = 0.
   

Now that we have all the values, we can arrange them in ascending order: -2, -1, 0, 1
