1. **State the problem:** Sort the following values from least to greatest:
Top-left: $\log_4(26)$
Top-center: $\infty$
Top-right: $\sum_{i=2}^3 i$
Center-left: $\sqrt{14}$
Center-center: $2!$
Center-right: $\int_2^7 x \, dx$
Bottom-left: $\frac{2\pi}{2}$
Bottom-center: $e^3$
Bottom-right: $\frac{12}{13}$
2. **Evaluate each expression:**
- $\log_4(26)$: Since $4^2=16$ and $4^3=64$, $\log_4(26)$ is between 2 and 3. More precisely, $\log_4(26) = \frac{\ln 26}{\ln 4} \approx \frac{3.258}{1.386} \approx 2.35$.
- $\infty$: Infinity, the largest value.
- $\sum_{i=2}^3 i = 2 + 3 = 5$.
- $\sqrt{14} \approx 3.7417$.
- $2! = 2 \times 1 = 2$.
- $\int_2^7 x \, dx = \left[ \frac{x^2}{2} \right]_2^7 = \frac{7^2}{2} - \frac{2^2}{2} = \frac{49}{2} - \frac{4}{2} = \frac{45}{2} = 22.5$.
- $\frac{2\pi}{2} = \pi \approx 3.1416$.
- $e^3 \approx 20.0855$.
- $\frac{12}{13} \approx 0.9231$.
3. **Sort the values from least to greatest:**
$\frac{12}{13} \approx 0.9231 < 2! = 2 < \pi \approx 3.1416 < \sqrt{14} \approx 3.7417 < \log_4(26) \approx 2.35$ (Note: $2.35$ is less than $3.1416$, so reorder)
Correct order:
$\frac{12}{13} \approx 0.9231 < 2! = 2 < \log_4(26) \approx 2.35 < \pi \approx 3.1416 < \sqrt{14} \approx 3.7417 < \sum_{i=2}^3 i = 5 < e^3 \approx 20.0855 < \int_2^7 x \, dx = 22.5 < \infty$
4. **Final answer:**
$$\frac{12}{13} < 2! < \log_4(26) < \pi < \sqrt{14} < \sum_{i=2}^3 i < e^3 < \int_2^7 x \, dx < \infty$$
