Find the cube root of unity?
The number 1 is its own square root, cube root, etc. in the real number system. To find complex roots of unity, we use the unit circle from trigonometry, coupled with the complex plane, where the x-axis is the real axis, and the y-axis is the imaginary axis. In that coordinate system, the number 1 corresponds to the point (1, 0) and the complex number 1 + 0i. Every complex number a + bi corresponds to the point (a, b) in the complex plane. To find roots of 1, we divide the unit circle up into as many sectors as the number of roots we are trying to find. For cube roots, that's 3 of course, so we divide the unit circle up into 3 sectors of 120 degrees (or 2pi/3 radians) each. So the three cube roots we want are located at the points 120 degrees around the unit circle from (1, 0). Since points on the unit circle have coordinates (cos(theta), sin(theta)), the first one we come to will be (cos(120), sin(120)) = (-1/2, Sqrt(3)/2). This point corresponds to the complex number -1/2 + (sqrt(3)/2)*i. The next point on the circle, 120 degrees from the last one, is (cos(240), sin(240)) = (-1/2, - sqrt(3)/2) = -1/2 - (sqrt(3)/2)*i. Now you have the three cube roots of unity: 1, -1/2 + (sqrt(3)/2)*i, and -1/2 - (sqrt(3)/2)*i. There's much more to all this, involving something called DeMoivre's Formula or Theorem.
Can you cube root negative two?
yes, you can find a real root to the cube root of any negative real number. There will also be two complex roots which satisfy it, as well.
Why would you need to use square roots and cube root?
For school you will need to learn how to find square and cube roots in order to have the needed prerequisites to answer progressively harder and more complex problems.

How do you cube the square root of imaginary number ex square root of 2i cubed?
From the question, it seems you already calculated the square root, or know how to get it. You can cube complex numbers just like you cube normal numbers: multiply them by themselves; the number must appear three times as a factor. For example, the cube of (2 + i) is (2+i) x (2+i) x (2+i). Another method - usually faster - to calculate any power is to express the complex number in polar form (absolute value and angle). For the specific case of a cube, the cube of such a number is the cube of the absolute value, at an angle that is three times the angle of the original number.
