If n is a positive integer and \(m = 6.2*10^n\), what is the value of m?

(1) \(6*10^3 < m < 5*10^5\)

(2) \(m^2 = 3.844*10^9\)


given \(m = 6.2*10^n\),
or say 62*10^n-1

#1
\(6*10^3 < m < 5*10^5\)
here from m = 62*10^n-1 value of n can be 3,4 ,5 insufficient
#2
\(m^2 = 3.844*10^9\)

m^2= 3844*10^6
m= 62*10^3
sufficient
IMO B[/quote]

If m = 6.2 * 10^5 => m is NOT <5*10^5
n = 3 or 4 and NOT 5

Are the 2 options supposed to reference n and not m, otherwise they give straight solutions.

1. m is between 6k and 500k, obviously not a specific value of m => not sufficient
2. m^2 allows for a solution for a specific value of m => sufficient

while we take square root for st 2 - will it not give a +/- answer?

But m=6.2*10^n, so m will always be positive....
