Is the cube root of a negative number positive or negative?
The cube root of a negative number is negative
How do you find the cube of a negative number?
The cube of a negative number is negative. Negative times negative is positive, but then you have the third multiplication, and positive times negative is negative. So for example (-2)3 = -8.
Can the cube root of a positive number ever be a negative number?
No.
Why can you cube root a negative number but you cannot square root a negative number?
When two negative or two positive numbers are multiplied together, they always result in a positive number; and when a positive and a negative number are multiplied together, they will always result in a negative number. Thus, you cannot square root a negative number because there are no real numbers that, when squared, would result in a negative number. For example: (-2)(-2) = 4 (2)(2) = 4 √4 = +/- 2 √(-4) = ? No real number, when squared, is a negative! Does not exist! The cube of a number is different, because you are multiplying three numbers together instead of just two. As a result, you can get a negative or a positive number. For example: (-2)(-2)(-2) = -8r (2)(2)(2) = 8 3√8 = 2 3√(-8) = -2
How are positive square roots different?
The answer depends on "different from WHAT?" Positive cube roots, or negative square roots?
Is the cube root of a negative number positive or negative?
The cube root of a negative number is negative
Can you find the cube root of a negative number If so is it positive or negative?
The cube root of a negative number is negative.

No.
How many real cube roots does any positive number have?
there is no cube roots in negative
Is the cube root of negative number a positive?
No, because the inverse function would not work. Every time you multiply a positive by a positive you get a positive.

Why is it possible to find a real cube root of a negative number but not a real square root of a negative number?
You cannot get real square root of a negative number because two numbers multiplied by themselves are always positive You can always get a real cube root of a negative number because three negative numbers multiplied by themselves give a negative .
What is the probability of rolling a negative number on a number cube?
It depend how many negative numbers are written on the cube.
How many real cube roots does negative 1 have?
Any real number - positive or negative - has exactly one real cube root. Any real number (except zero) has three cubic roots in the complex numbers; but only one of them is real.
How are positive square roots different?
The answer depends on "different from WHAT?" Positive cube roots, or negative square roots?
Why can a negative number have a cube root?
Because if you multiply a negative number three times, the product will be negative.
