MCQ
The least positive integer $n$ for which $\sqrt[3]{n+1}-\sqrt[3]{n} < \frac{1}{12}$ is
- A$6$
- B$7$
- ✓$8$
- D$9$
We have,
$\sqrt[3]{n+1}-\sqrt[3]{n} < \frac{1}{12}$
$\sqrt[3]{n+1} < \sqrt[3]{n}+\frac{1}{12}$
Cubing both sides, we get
$n+1 < n+3(n)^{23} \times \frac{1}{12}+3 \sqrt[3]{n} \times \frac{1}{144}+\frac{1}{1728}$
$\Rightarrow \quad 1 < \frac{3 n^{1 / 3}}{}-\left(n^{1 / 3}+\frac{1}{12}\right)+\frac{1}{1728}$
$\Rightarrow \quad n^{1 / 3}\left(n^{1 / 3}+\frac{1}{12}\right) > 1-\frac{1}{1728}$
$\Rightarrow \quad n^{1 / 3}\left(n^{1 / 3}+\frac{1}{12}\right) > \frac{1727}{432}$
Put $n=8$ only possible least positive integers.
