Find the integer that lies between 101%7D%24" id="TexFormula1" title="$\sqrt[3]{-45}$ and $\sqrt[3]{-101}$" alt="$\sqrt[3]{-45}$ and $\sqrt[3]{-101}$" align="absmiddle" class="latex-formula">

Answer 1

∛(-45) = ∛((-1) × 45) = ∛(-1) × ∛45 = -∛45

Similarly,

∛(-101) = - ∛101

Now,

• 3³ = 27 and 4³ = 64, and 27 < 46 < 64, so ∛27 < ∛45 < ∛64, which places ∛45 between 3 and 4

• 5³ = 125, so ∛101 would similarly fall between 4 and 5

So to summarize, we have

3 < ∛45 < 4 < ∛101 < 5

so that

-5 < ∛(-45) < -4 < ∛(-101) < -3

so the integer between these numbers is -4.
