Nathan ate 20/24, Leroy ate 21/24, and Sofia ate 15/24 meaning Leroy ate the most

The greatest amount is when the bottom part of the fraction (denominator) is almost as large as the top part of a fraction (numinator)

This means that even if 5/6 numbers are very similar to each other, that does not mean they are the biggest. The biggest denominator is 8- however the numinator is 5- so the difference between those numbers is quite big. This means that the person left is Leroy, who had almost the biggest denominator, and a similar nominator.

The points (0, 5) and (4, 13) lie on the graph of a linear function. What is the rate of change of the function?
Viefleur [7K]

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1) = (13 - 5)/(4 - 0) = 8/4 = 2

Which system of equations can be used to find the roots of the equation 4x^2=x^3+2x?
irina [24]
Next time, please share the answer choices.
Starting from scratch, it's possible to find the roots:

<span>4x^2=x^3+2x should be rearranged in descending order by powers of x:

x^3 - 4x^2 + 2x = 0.  Factoring out x:  </span>x(x^2 - 4x + 2) = 0

Clearly, one root is 0.  We must now find the roots of (x^2 - 4x + 2):

Here we could learn a lot by graphing.  The graph of y = x^2 - 4x + 2 never touches the x-axis, which tells us that (x^2 - 4x + 2) = 0 has no real roots other than x=0.  You could also apply the quadratic formula here; if you do, you'll find that the discriminant is negative, meaning that you have two complex, unequal roots.
