If x is a positive integer, for how many different values of x is StartRoot StartFraction 48 Over x EndFraction EndRoot a whole number?

For 3 different values of x

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to get the values of x for which

√(48/x) is a whole number

We have to consider that the values of x that will make the expression a whole number must be less than or equal to 48

Also, we have to consider that, the division we have to make must yield a perfect square so as to have a whole number square root

The factors of 48 that can yield a whole number are;

1,2,3,4,6,8,12,16,24 and 48

However, the divisions that can yield a perfect square are

3 (yield 16)

12 ( yield 4)

48 ( yield 1)

So the numbers of the value of x that can yield a whole number is 3

the answer to this in exact form is 4/35 but in decimal form its 0.1142857

hope this if needed hmu

answer is your mom hey
