Solve for x to determine which equation represents the greatest value for x.
Equation 1
[tex]x^2 = 17 [/tex]
[tex]x[/tex] ≈ [tex]4.12[/tex]
Equation 2
[tex]x^2 = 26[/tex]
[tex]x[/tex] ≈ [tex]5.1[/tex]
Equation 3
[tex]x^3 = 64[/tex]
[tex]x=4[/tex]
Equation 4
[tex]x^3 = 27[/tex]
[tex]x=3[/tex]
Answer: Equation 2
