Question
![**Mathematical Proof on Educational Website**
**Statement:**
Prove that if \( x \) is a positive real number, then
\[
\lfloor \sqrt{\lfloor x \rfloor} \rfloor = \lfloor \sqrt{x} \rfloor
\]
**Explanation:**
Here, \( \lfloor \cdot \rfloor \) denotes the floor function, which outputs the greatest integer less than or equal to a given number. The task is to prove that applying the floor function to both the square root of a floored number and the square root of the original number yields the same result when \( x \) is any positive real number.](https://content.bartleby.com/qna-images/question/e6156c38-2816-48c7-aed8-10dafecc3b80/f28329a4-9ff1-4a19-bbdd-c76a334a325a/b6glhi_thumbnail.png)
