Math Problem Statement

Diego says that if you cube the number 4 and then take the cube root of the result, you end up with 8. Is Diego correct? Explain.

Solution

The text in the image appears to say:

"Construct Arguments Diego says that if you cube the number 4 and then take the cube root of the result, you end up with 8. Is Diego correct? Explain."

Let's analyze the problem:

  1. Cubing the number 4:

    • 43=4×4×4=644^3 = 4 \times 4 \times 4 = 64.
  2. Taking the cube root of 64:

    • 643=4\sqrt[3]{64} = 4.

Diego's statement says that the result should be 8, but we see that the cube root of 64 is 4, not 8. Therefore, Diego's claim is incorrect.
