How many positive integers n satisfy $\lfloor \sqrt[3]{n} \rfloor = 5$?

Only 3 does.

Hey BuilderBoi, 

 

I have a question...

 

How is it 3?

 

Using the floor rule \(\mathrm{If}\:\lfloor \:n\:\rfloor =x\:\mathrm{then}\:x\le \:n \)

 

We get \(5\le \sqrt[3]{n}<6\)

 

That is \(125\le \:n<216\)

Oh, wait that's a cube root...

 

Yea, you're right, I thought it meant \(n\sqrt{3}\) not \(\sqrt[3]{n}\)

\( $\lfloor \sqrt[3]{n} \rfloor = 5$\)

 

Note that     (125)^(1/3)  =  5

And that      (216)^(1/3)  = 6

 

So....the number of positive integers that satisfy this  =     215 - 125 + 1 =  91

 

 

cool cool cool
