Not calculus, but -64 has three cube roots, two of which are complex numbers. Note, sqrt(-1) = i.

4*e^(pi*i/3) is a root because [4*e^(pi*i/3)]^3 = 64*e^(pi*i) = 64*-1= -64

4*e^(-pi*i/3) is a root because [4*e^(-pi*i/3)]^3 = 64*e^(-pi*i) = 64*-1= -64

and of course

-4 = 4*e^(pi*i) is a root because (-4)^3 = -64.

To find these, set up the equation -64 = [A*e^(pi*i*B)]^3 and solve for A and B. If you don't like using complex exponentials, any complex number can also be written as a + b*i so you could solve -64 = (a + bi)^3. If you use the complex exponential form, you should get the three answers above. If you use the a + b*i form you should get the equivalent {2 +/- 3.464i, -4}. Remember either equations has three solutions because it is cubic.

How do you do cube roots quickly?

Some calculators don't have cube roots, so you could use X to the power of 1/root. x^(1/root). The cube root of 64 equals 4 because 4*4*4 (or 4^3) gives 64. You can reverse these powers by reciprocating the exponent: 64^(1/3) = 4

Cube root of what equals 4?

The cube of a number occurs when three of that number have been multiplied together - This is also referred to as 'raising to the power of 3'. So. 4 x 4 x 4 = 64 is 4 cubed (or 43). The cube root of a number is the number whose cube equals the given number. So, the cube root of 64 is 4, (as 4 cubed equals 64).
