If x>0.9, which of the following options can be the value of x?

A. 0.9^2
B. √(0.9)
C. 0.09
D. 0.9
E. 0.9^3


--> If 0<x<1, it becomes x^3<x^2<x<√x<1<1/x and 0.9<√(0.9).
Therefore, the answer is B.

Since x > 0.9, and since √(0.9) is approximately equal to 0.949, which is greater than 0.9, √(0.9) is a possible value of x.

Answer: B
