m³ = n² - 300guerrero wrote:If m³ - n² = -300, then the lowest possible value of m is between
For lowest value of m, m³ will also have the lowest value.
And m³ will have the lowest value when n² will be lowest.
Lowest possible value of n² is 0.
So, lowest possible value of m³ is -300
Hence, lowest possible value of m is -(cube root of 300)
Now, look at the options.
0³ = 0, 5³ = 125, 10³ = 1000
Hence, -10 < m < -5
The correct answer is C.
