Concept explainers
a)
To write: The numbers of given table in integer form by associating a + or − sign before it, and then arranging all these integers in ascending order and lastly to decide the largest integer, out of these four, that represents player at second position.
a)
Answer to Problem 14STP
Each player`s standing in integer form is: Reggle0 , Benjamin
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
A table that shows the position of different player’s from their leader Reggie in whole number form with the fact that after 3 rounds of a 4 round tournament, Reggie is the leader.
Explanation:
A whole number when represented by + or − sign is called an integer. +sign represents ascending value and − sign represents descending value from a middle value 0.
Now as Reggie is the leader of all given players that mean there will be a − sign before the standing values of them.
Further, if a whole number is greater than another whole number, this number will be smaller from second whole number, if a − sign is placed before it. For example, if 7 is greater than 4, then
Thus, all the given negative integers from least to greatest will be written as:
Conclusion:
Thus, standing position of given players in respect to their leader Reggie just after Reggie will beReggle, Benjamin, Cristofer, Thomas, Alejandro
b)
To write: The numbers of given table in integer form and then arrange all these integers in ascending order.
b)
Answer to Problem 14STP
Above integers in ascending order are written as:

Conclusion: Thus,number of strokes behind the leader, in integer form from least to greatest can be arranged as:
c)
To name: The player that is currently at second position.
c)
Answer to Problem 14STP
Benjamin is currently at second position.
Explanation of Solution
Given information: A table that shows the position of different players position from their leader Reggie in whole number form with the fact that after 3 rounds of a 4 round tournament, Reggie is the leader.
Formula/concept used: A whole number when represented by + or − sign is called an integer. + sign represents ascending value and − sign represents descending value from a middle value 0. Now as Reggie is the leader of all given players that means there will be a − sign before the standing values of them.
Further, if a whole number is greater than another whole number, this number will be smaller from second whole number, if a − sign is placed before it. For example, if 7 is greater than 4, then
Conclusion: Thus, as Reggle is the leader that is represented by integer 0, its second position in the order is represented by
