AHSME 1999 Problem 28

    Let x1,x2,…,xnx_1, x_2, \ldots , x_n be a sequence of integers such that (i) −1≤xi≤2-1 \le x_i \le 2 for i=1,2,…ni = 1,2, \ldots n (ii) x1+⋯+xn=19x_1 + \cdots + x_n = 19; and (iii) x12+x22+⋯+xn2=99x_1^2 + x_2^2 + \cdots + x_n^2 = 99. Let mm and MM be the minimal and maximal possible values of x13+⋯+xn3x_1^3 + \cdots + x_n^3, respectively. Then Mm=\frac Mm = (A) 3(B) 4(C) 5(D) 6(E) 7\mathrm{(A) \ }3 \mathrm{(B) \ }4 \mathrm{(C) \ }5 \mathrm{(D) \ }6 \mathrm{(E) \ }7
