Problem
How many integer values of satisfy
?
Solution 1
Since is about
, we multiply 9 by 2 for the numbers from
to
and the numbers from
to
and add 1 to account for the zero to get
~smarty101 and edited by Tony_Li2007
Solution 2
. Since
is approximately
,
is approximately
. We are trying to solve for
, where
. Hence,
, for
. The number of integer values of
is
. Therefore, the answer is
.
~ {TSun} ~
Solution 3
There are two cases here.
When and
So then
When and
So then
. Dividing by
and flipping the sign, we get
From case 1 and 2, we know that . Since
is an integer, we must have
between
and
. There are a total of
-PureSwag
Solution 4
Looking at the problem, we see that instead of directly saying , we see that it is
That means all the possible values of
in this case are positive and negative. Rounding
to
we get
There are
positive solutions and
negative solutions.
But what about zero? Even though zero is neither negative nor positive, but we still need to add it into the solution. Hence, the answer is
.
