Surds are based on roots.

Root 8 can be split into root 4 and root 2; as there's a root to 4, get that number, and multiply it by the remaining root.

So root 8 = 2 root 2.

Root 40 would be 2 root 10

Root 48 would be root 4, root 4, root 3

Root 48 = 4 root 3.

Cube root of 7 is a surd but is cube root of negative seven a surd?

I am pretty sure that the cube root of negative seven is a surd. I checked on the calculator.......and it showed a negative number.....??I think when it is not a surd...it's supposed to say error, so the number probably means that it is a surd..
