-12, -6, -3, -2, 0, 3
-10, -6, 0, -2, 4, 4
1, -1, -2, -4, -10, -17
D​

Answer 1

1, -1, -2, -4, -10, -17

Explanation:

At this point, what we must take into account is that in the case of negative numbers, the larger the magnitude, the smaller the number. For example.

5 is bigger than 3, but -5 is not bigger than -3, because of the above, that is -5 is a number smaller than -3.

Now, in a downward direction, it goes from bigger to smaller.

checking each set:

7, 9, 3, -5, -1, -2 (7 is not less than 9, so it's not right)

-12, -6, -3, -2, 0, 3 (is organizing, but from minor to major, that is ascending form)

-10, -6, 0, -2, 4, 4 ( 0 is greater than -2)

1, -1, -2, -4, -10, -17 (in this case if it goes from the largest number which is 1 to -17 which is the smallest)

Answer 2

D. 1, - 1, -2, -4, -10, -17

Explanation:

Un conjunto de números enteros ordenados en forma descendente es aquel que cuyo elemento siguiente es menor que el elemento precedente. Por ende, el conjunto de la opción D cumple con esa característica.
