Is 'when' justified?

Image

Is the use of 'when' in the non-underlined portion justified?
'When' is used to describe/indicate a time frame.

I have a very basic way to solve this. 0 is straight away out as explained by Brent above. now to find least possible value of x + 4/x lets equate it to each answer choice. So, x + 4/x = 1 ; x^2 + 4 = x ; x^2 - x + 4 =0 _____ (1) similarly, equation with 2, 3 and 4 you get, x^2 -2x + 4 = 0 _____(2) ...

√{3√80 + 3/(9+4√5)} = ? If the answer choices are sufficiently different, we can ballpark the answer quickly: √(3√80 + 3/(9+4√5)) ≈ √(3*9 + fraction) ≈ √27 ≈ 3√7. Hi Mitch, I didn't understand how did you get to the step in bold red above. Just to correct √27 = 3√3
