Question

Solve the equation for the unknown variable b^3=−8 what dose b =

Answer 1

Answer:

b = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Take the cube root of both sides of the equation.

b^3 = (-2)^3

b = -2

_____

There are two other complex solutions. It isn't clear from the problem statement whether you are interested in those or not. They are 1±i√3. They can be found by factoring b^3+8 = 0 as (b+2)(b^2 -2b +4) = 0. They are the roots of the quadratic.
