$begingroup$


Let $[x]$ denote the greatest integer function, then evaluate



$$int_{-100}^{100}[x^3]dx$$



I have no idea how to go about it, can someone help me out

          Hint: If $ninmathbb Z$, then$$int_{sqrt[3]n}^{sqrt[3]{n+1}}lfloor x^3rfloor,mathrm dx=int_{sqrt[3]n}^{sqrt[3]{n+1}}n,mathrm dx=ntimesleft(sqrt[3]{n+1}-sqrt[3]nright).$$
