Hi, there--
.

.
Solve for x. Subtract 15 from both sides.
.

.
Take the positive square root of both sides of the equation. If x^2 equals 15, then

.
To find which integers the square root of 15 is between, we find the two square numbers closest to 15 (one less than 15 and one greater than 15.} The square numbers are 1, 4, 9, 16, ...
.
15 is between 9 and 16.
.
Therefore, is between and . So the positive root of lies between 3 and 4.
