can you find the cube root of a negative number? if so, is it positive or negative? explain your reasoning

Sagot :

yes you can and it is negative because if you think about it, the answer to the 3rd power is your original question, so for example,  -8 would equal to the answer times itself 3 times
now ask yourself, does 2 times itself 3 times = to -8
or -2 times itself 3 times = to -8
