  1. Find all n such that 0 < n^6 < 1000

    10^3 = (greater than 3)^3

    1,2, 3 are the possible ones.

    (B)

  2. I think the answer should be A because between 1 and 1000 we only have two integers which are perfect square and perfect cube at the same time.
    Those integers are: 1 - sqrt(1) =cubert(1) =1 integer
    second integer is 64 - sqrt(64) =8 cubert(64) = 4 they both are integers.
    Hence A.
