To make sure we don't have negatives under the square root, we specify that
x \ge 0 (x is greater than or equal to 0). We'll use this fact later on

--------------------------------------------

Start with the given inequality
√(x) \le 7 and square both sides to get
x \le 49. Couple this with the fact that
x \ge 0 means we have this compound inequality
0 \le x \le 49

What does this mean? It means that we can pick any value from 0 to 49 (including both endpoints) and it will be a solution to the inequality. This applies to the values 49, 48 and 44
