Question

If x is an integer and x^2 < 37, what is the greatest possible value of x minus the least possible value of x?

A. 5
B. 6
C. 10
D. 12
E. 36

NandishSS · Answer

If x is an integer and x^2 < 37

the greatest possible value of x will be 6

the least possible value of x will be -6

the greatest possible value of x minus the least possible value of x 6+6 = 12

Hence D

Sateni7628 · Answer

Answer is choice D.

-6 & 6 are the least and greatest possible values of x. Hence difference of these two values is 12.

KSBGC · Answer

x^2  yields positive values all time. we must consider both positive and negative values of x.

x ( highest ) = 6
x ( lowest) = -6.

greatest possible value = 6 - (-6) = 12.

D is the correct answer.

Archit3110 · Answer

greatest value = 6
and least value = -6
so 6-(-6) = 12
IMO D

ashudhall · Answer

since x2<37
greatest positive value of x =6
Least value = -6
6-(-6)=12

D

Question:
If x is an integer and x^2 < 37, what is the greatest possible value of x minus the least possible value of x?

A. 5
B. 6
C. 10
D. 12
E. 36

36 is the square of 6 
Therefore, the range lies between -6<x<6.
--> 6-(-6)=6+6=12(Ans) D

ScottTargetTestPrep · Answer

The largest integer x could be is 6, and the smallest it could be is -6. So the difference is 6 - (-6) = 12.
