Question

Which of the following equations represents the greatest value of x?

Equation 1 x^2 = 17, Equation 2 x^2 = 26, Equation 3 x^3 = 64, Equation 4 x^3 = 27


Equation 1

Equation 2

Equation 3

Equation 4

Answer 1

Equation 2

Explanation:

Using the compatible numbers method, we can see that the fourth equation is 3 = x, the third equation is 4 = x, the first equation is near 4 [one over the √16 (which is greater than 4)], and finally, we come to the second equation, which is near 5 [one over the √25 (which is greater than 5)]. From what was explained, you have your answer.
