If p^3 ≥ −125, and p is an integer, what is the value of p ?

(1) 3p + 16 ≤ 4
(2) p^2 > 16

Please read carefully and follow: rules-for-posting-please-read-this-before-posting-133935.html Pay attention to rule #3. Thank you.

I am confused why answer is C.

Isn't statement 2 enough?

Given If \( p^3 ≥ −125\), and p is an integer

this means \(p ≥-5\)

Statement 2 says \(p^2 ≥ 16\)

this means \(p>4\) and \(p<-4\)

So with \(p ≥-5\), \(p>4\) and \(p<-4\)....... \(p = -5\) right?

Or am i missing something?

In statement 2, there is no unique value, it could be +4 or -4 that is why B not sufficient
