Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Calculate each value
- $\frac{9}{10} = 0.9$
- $\infty$ is infinitely large, so it's the greatest (but we'll handle finite values first)
- $\sum_{i = 1}^{6}i=\frac{6(6 + 1)}{2}=21$ (using sum of arithmetic series formula $\sum_{i = 1}^{n}i=\frac{n(n + 1)}{2}$)
- $\frac{6\pi}{5}\approx\frac{6\times3.14}{5}\approx3.768$
- $\log_{3}(13)$: Since $3^{2}=9$, $3^{3}=27$, so $2\lt\log_{3}(13)\lt3$ (more precisely, $\log_{3}(13)\approx2.335$)
- $7!=7\times6\times5\times4\times3\times2\times1 = 5040$
- $\sqrt{5}\approx2.236$
- $\int_{1}^{7}xdx=\left[\frac{x^{2}}{2}\right]_{1}^{7}=\frac{7^{2}}{2}-\frac{1^{2}}{2}=\frac{49 - 1}{2}=24$
Step2: Order finite values from least to greatest
- $\frac{9}{10}=0.9$ (least)
- $\sqrt{5}\approx2.236$
- $\log_{3}(13)\approx2.335$
- $\frac{6\pi}{5}\approx3.768$
- $\sum_{i = 1}^{6}i = 21$
- $\int_{1}^{7}xdx = 24$
- $7!=5040$
- $\infty$ (greatest, but it's not a finite number in the usual ordering of real numbers; however, among finite values, the order is as above)
Now, ordering the squares (excluding $\infty$ first, then $\infty$ at last):
- $\frac{9}{10}$
- $\sqrt{5}$
- $\log_{3}(13)$
- $\frac{6\pi}{5}$
- $\sum_{i = 1}^{6}i$
- $\int_{1}^{7}xdx$
- $7!$
- $\infty$ (but since $\infty$ is not a real number with a finite value, if we consider only real numbers, the last finite one is $7!$, and $\infty$ is beyond all finite numbers)
Answer:
Order from least to greatest (finite values first, then $\infty$): $\boldsymbol{\frac{9}{10}}$, $\boldsymbol{\sqrt{5}}$, $\boldsymbol{\log_{3}(13)}$, $\boldsymbol{\frac{6\pi}{5}}$, $\boldsymbol{\sum_{i = 1}^{6}i}$, $\boldsymbol{\int_{1}^{7}xdx}$, $\boldsymbol{7!}$, $\boldsymbol{\infty}$
