Math Problem Statement

What is the cube root of -64?

Solution

The given image shows the mathematical expression:

643\sqrt[3]{-64}

This represents the cube root of 64-64. To solve this, we need to find a number that, when multiplied by itself three times, equals 64-64.

We know:

(4)×(4)×(4)=64(-4) \times (-4) \times (-4) = -64

So:

643=4\sqrt[3]{-64} = -4

The answer is 4-4.
