The set of numbers arranged in descending order is:
7.6 × 10^−25, 7.2 × 10^−25, 7.2 × 10^−30, 7 × 10^−30
To determine which set of numbers is arranged in descending order, we need to compare the numbers and their exponents.
Let's break down each set:
1. Set: 7.6 × 10^(-25), 7.2 × 10^(-30), 7.2 × 10^(-25), 7 × 10^(-30)
In this set, it appears that the numbers are ordered from smallest to largest. To verify this, we can compare the exponents. The exponents in this set are -25, -30, -25, -30. Since the exponents are the same, we need to compare the coefficients. The coefficients are 7.6, 7.2, 7.2, 7.
Looking at the coefficients, we can see that 7.2 is greater than 7. Therefore, the set is not arranged in descending order.
2. Set: 7.6 × 10^(-25), 7.2 × 10^(-25), 7.2 × 10^(-30), 7 × 10^(-30)
In this set, it appears that the numbers are ordered from largest to smallest. To verify this, we can compare the exponents. The exponents in this set are -25, -25, -30, -30. Since the exponents are the same, we need to compare the coefficients. The coefficients are 7.6, 7.2, 7.2, 7.
Looking at the coefficients, we can see that 7.6 is the largest, followed by 7.2, and then 7. Therefore, this set is arranged in descending order.
3. Set: 7 × 10^(-30), 7.2 × 10^(-25), 7.2 × 10^(-30), 7.6 × 10^(-25)
In this set, it appears that the numbers are once again ordered from smallest to largest. To verify this, we can compare the exponents. The exponents in this set are -30, -25, -30, -25. Since the exponents are the same, we need to compare the coefficients. The coefficients are 7, 7.2, 7.2, 7.6.
Looking at the coefficients, we can see that 7 is the smallest, followed by 7.2, and then 7.6. Therefore, this set is not arranged in descending order.
4. Set: 7.2 × 10^(-30), 7 × 10^(-30), 7.6 × 10^(-25), 7.2 × 10^(-25)
In this set, it appears that the numbers are ordered from smallest to largest. To verify this, we can compare the exponents. The exponents in this set are -30, -30, -25, -25. Since the exponents are the same, we need to compare the coefficients. The coefficients are 7.2, 7, 7.6, 7.2.
Looking at the coefficients, we can see that 7 is the smallest, followed by 7.2, and then 7.6. Therefore, this set is not arranged in descending order.
Based on the analysis, the set of numbers that is arranged in descending order is:
7.6 × 10^(-25), 7.2 × 10^(-25), 7.2 × 10^(-30), 7 × 10^(-30)
The set of numbers arranged in ascending order is:
0.000325, 0.00125, 0.00225, 0.00325
