A solution or root makes a true statement when substituted in an equation.
Is to an equation is any value of the variable that makes the equation true?
Such a value is said to be a solution, or a root, of the equation.
How do you find the cube root of a negative number?
If the negative number is "-a", then you can say the cube root is "-(cube root of a)" Because if you cube a negative number, you get a negative number. So if you cube root a negative number, you get a negative number. Ex) cube root of -8 = -2 Because (-2)^3 = -8 But if you want to find the complex cube roots, you can make an equation: "x^3=-a" or "x^3+a=0" We know one of the roots is "-(cube root of a)" so you can factor the equation by (x+(cube root of a)) And then you use the quadratic formula for the quadratic equation you're left with. Ex) x^3=-8 or x^3+8=0 Since -2 is a root, factor it by (x+2) x^3+8=(x+2)(x^2-2x+4) Using the quadratic formula, you get "1+i√3" and "1-i√3" Therefore the three cube roots of -8 is <"-2", "1+i√3", "1-i√3">
