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

Solve for x to determine which equation represents the greatest value for x.

Equation 1


`x^2 = 17`


`x` ≈
`4.12`

Equation 2


`x^2 = 26`


`x` ≈
`5.1`

Equation 3


`x^3 = 64`


`x=4`

Equation 4


`x^3 = 27`


`x=3`

Answer: Equation 2
