C
D

Question Explanation

Text Explanation

2.252+2n+22022.25 ≤ 2 + 2^{n+2} ≤ 202

2.2522+2n+2220222.25 − 2 ≤ 2 + 2^{n+2} − 2 ≤ 202 − 2

0.252n+22000.25 ≤ 2^{n+2} ≤ 200

log20.25n+2log2200\log_2 0.25 ≤ n + 2 ≤ \log_2 200

2n+27.xx−2 ≤ n + 2 ≤ 7.xx

4n7.xx2−4 ≤ n ≤ 7.xx − 2

4n5.xx−4 ≤ n ≤ 5.xx


Possible integers = −4, −3, −2, −1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5


If we see the second expression provided, i.e.

3+3n+13 + 3^{n+1}, it can be implied that n should be at least −1 for this expression to be an integer.


So, n = −1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5


Hence, there are a total of 7 values.
