Question

Fill in the blank with <, > or = to make each statement true. -2 _ -5, -1 _ |-1|

Answer 1

fill in the blank with <, > or =

We must place the symbol according to the statement

-2 is larger than -5, so we use >

`\begin{gathered} -2>-5 \\ \end{gathered}`

-1 is less than the absolute value of | -1 | so we use <

`-1<\mleft|-1\mright|`
