A positive integer is equal to 4 times its reciprocal. Find that number!

  1. -4

  2. 2

  3. 3

  4. 9


Correct Option: B

AI Explanation

To solve this problem, let's assume the positive integer as 'x'.

According to the given information, the positive integer is equal to 4 times its reciprocal.

This can be written as:

x = 4 * (1/x)

Multiplying both sides of the equation by 'x', we get:

x^2 = 4

Taking the square root of both sides, we find:

x = ±√4

Therefore, the positive integer can be either +2 or -2.

However, since the question states that the integer is positive, the correct answer is B) 2.
