Math Problem Statement

What is the cube root of 64?

Solution

The expression in the image asks for the cube root of 64, denoted by 643\sqrt[3]{64}.

Solution:

The cube root of a number xx, x3\sqrt[3]{x}, is a number yy such that: y3=xy^3 = x

For x=64x = 64: y3=64y^3 = 64

We know: 43=4×4×4=644^3 = 4 \times 4 \times 4 = 64

Thus: 643=4\sqrt[3]{64} = 4

Final Answer:

4\boxed{4}

Here are 5 questions to consider:

  1. What is the cube root of other perfect cubes like 273\sqrt[3]{27} or 1253\sqrt[3]{125}?
  2. How does the cube root differ from the square root mathematically?
  3. How can cube roots be approximated for non-perfect cubes like 503\sqrt[3]{50}?
  4. What is the general formula for solving x3=y\sqrt[3]{x} = y?
  5. How are cube roots represented in different contexts, such as physics or engineering?

Tip:

To quickly determine cube roots of perfect cubes, memorize the cubes of integers up to 10 (e.g., 13,23,33,,1031^3, 2^3, 3^3, \dots, 10^3).
