<span>The line would first have to have a negative slope, since she is consuming the crackers, leading to fewer crackers left in the bowl every minute. Since she is eating 9 crackers every two minutes, this would be a slope of (-9/2) to describe the number left in the bowl.</span>
Assuming your f(x) = x^3 +6x^2 +x^(1/2) and g(x) = x^(1/2), you have
.. f(x)/g(x) = x^(5/2) +6x^(3/2) +1
