For how many integer values of is
Certain China testpapers:
For how many integer values of is
Solution 1
is slightly less than . So The inequality expands to be . We find that can take the integer values between and inclusive. There are such values.
Note that if you did not know whether was greater than or less than , then you might perform casework. In the case that , the valid solutions are between and inclusive: solutions. Since, is not an answer choice, we can be confident that , and that is the correct answer.

Test advice: If you are in the test and do not know if 22/7 is bigger or smaller than , you can use the extremely sophisticated method of just dividing via long division. Once you get to you realise that you don't need to divide further since when rounded to 4 decimal places.Therefore, you do not include and and the answer is 21.

Solution 2
[THIS SOLUTION DOES NOT WORK, PLEASE REFER TO SOLUTION 1]
Use the fact that . Simplifying this gives , which leads to . Now, all we have to do is count the number of possibilities for , which is just .

Solution 3
is incredibly close to , but doesn't reach it. This can be both computed by using or assumed. Therefore, including both positive and negative values, the answer is . ~Tacos_are_yummy_1
Solution 4
[ONLY FOR CERTAIN CHINESE TESTPAPERS]
Use the fact that , and thus you can get . We could easily see that the answer is
