Step-by-step solution

4 steps

To order a,b,a, b, and cc, we need to calculate the numerical value of each expression.

  1. Calculate the value of aa.

    a=613a = 6^{\frac{1}{3}}

    This means aa is the cube root of 6. We know that 13=11^3 = 1 and 23=82^3 = 8. So, aa must be between 1 and 2.
    A calculator gives a≈1.817a \approx 1.817.

  2. Calculate the value of bb.

    b=log⁡22b = \log_2 \sqrt{2}

    We can rewrite 2\sqrt{2} as 2122^{\frac{1}{2}}.
    Using the logarithm property log⁡xxy=y\log_x x^y = y:

    b=log⁡2212b = \log_2 2^{\frac{1}{2}} b=12b = \frac{1}{2} b=0.5b = 0.5
  3. Calculate the value of cc.

    c=1.22c = 1.2^2 c=1.2×1.2c = 1.2 \times 1.2 c=1.44c = 1.44
  4. Compare the values of a,b,a, b, and cc.

    We have:
    a≈1.817a \approx 1.817
    b=0.5b = 0.5
    c=1.44c = 1.44

    Arranging these values in ascending order:
    0.5<1.44<1.8170.5 < 1.44 < 1.817
    So, b<c<ab < c < a.

    The ordering of a,b,ca, b, c is b<c<a\boxed{b < c < a}.
