EXCELLENT
Correct Solution
i dont think so ..
3 6 2 0 + 3 2 2 x − 4 x 2 will be a real number when 3 6 2 0 + 3 2 2 x − 4 x 2 > = 0
Therefore, solve equation 3 6 2 0 + 3 2 2 x − 4 x 2 = 0 , and you get x = 90.5. All integers less than 90.5 gives real numbers and integers greater than 90.5 give complex numbers.
So, largest positive interger is 90.
THAT'S WONDERFUL
Are you sure that "All integers less than 90.5 gives real numbers"? What about the integer x = − 1 0 0 ?

Yeah! Sorry.. The question asks for positive value. That's why, I didn't mention the other part.
3620+322x- 4x2 =0
it should be 4 x 2 .Sorry.
We want x to be positive, but we want it to be the largest. Finding x-intercepts will give us the largest that will give us a positive number or 0. So set everything inside the square root equal to 0.
3 6 2 0 + 3 2 2 x − 4 x 2 = 0
− 2 ( x + 1 0 ) ( 2 x − 1 8 1 ) = 0
x = − 1 0 , 9 0 . 5
x has to be positive, so -10 is out of the picture. But 90.5 is not an integer! So we will have to find the integer closest to but smaller than 90.5, which is 9 0
First, I thought I'd solve the quadratic under the square root for zero. I worked out that this was 90.5. A square root of 0 does not result in a real number as a solution. Neither does a square root of a negative . Therefore 3 6 2 0 + 3 2 2 x − 4 x 2 must be a postive . From this I worked out the closest integer to 90.5 that would result in a postive value, was 90.
The roots of the equation are -10 and 90.5.
But these values evaluate the equation to zero.
90 is the largest possible integer which will satisfy the conditions given .
Hence the Answer.!!!
as coefficient of x^2 is negative, the graph is a downward parabola, hence max value of x would be the greatest root of equation 3620+322x-4x^2 = 0, which is 181/2, and the nearest integer in 90
find the roots of equation(3620+322x-4x^2). x1 will be 90.5 and x2 will be -10. now put the value of x=90.5 and x=-10. the value of whole function at x=-10 is not real. and again we put x=90.5.which gives real value of function and greatest integer of 90.5 is either 90 or 91. now put 90. hence it is real at 90.
For root(3620+322x-4x|2|)to be real the expression must be >=0.Part 322x-4x|2| {= 2x(161-2x)} implies that the greater the value of x the lesser the value of the expression will be. But the least value of the expression is 0. So the least value for x can be got from the equation : 3620+322x-4x|2|=0. This simplifies to x=90.5(greater root). But we can take only integers. So the answer is [x] = 90.
Start by solving the quadratic eq. under the root sign, with this you will obtain the two roots or we can say values of 'x' i.e x=-10 & x=90.5. As the ques says 'x' needs to be a positive integer the ans is 90. You can also verify it by substituting 90 in the place of 'x', you will get a real no. but if you substitute 91 you will get an imaginary no.

the equation in the square root must positive, so the equation 3620 + 322x -4x^{2} must equal or larger than zero. so we solve equation 3620 + 322x -4x^{2} = 0 , the solution is x1= -10, x2=90.5 . so to the equation positive x must be in the range [-10,90.5]. Thus the largest positive integer x is 90.
