Question

How does finding the square root of a number compare to finding the cube root of a number? Use the number 64 in your explanation.

Answer 1

Answer:

To find the cube root of a number is a bit more complicated and in our days is considered impractical, but here is a method explained. Look at the 2nd example scrolling down about 1/3 of the page

If you want to know the concept of square roots and cube roots ?

the square root of a number is that number which when multiplied by itself two times gives us that number

e.g.

√64 = x , so that (x)(x) = 64

and from our multiplication table we know that

(8)(8) = 64 , so that

√64 = 8

the cube root of a number is that number which when multiplied by itself three times gives us that number

e.g.

∛64 = x , so that (x)(x)(x) = 64 , and thus x = 4 because 4x4x4 = 64

so ∛64 = 4

for 9 I wrote Any decimal which terminates is rational

any decimal which has a repeat is rational

any decimal which does not show any repeating decimals and which is never-ending is irrational
