\sqrt{x^3+36}\implies \sqrt{x^{2+1}6^2}\implies \sqrt{x^2x6^2}\implies \sqrt{(6x)^2x}\implies 6x\sqrt{x}

\stackrel{\textit{x = 4}}{6(4)\sqrt{4}}\implies 24\sqrt{2^2}\implies 24\cdot 2\implies 48[/tex]
that's how I read it.... to get some value between 1 and 5, namely 4, to make the expression a rational, well, 48 can be expressed as 48/1.
