Concept of Cube Root: Understand the concept of a cube root.The cube root of a number is a value that, when multiplied by itself three times, gives the original number. For the cube root of −64, we are looking for a number that when cubed gives −64.
Determine Cube Root of −64: Determine the cube root of −64. Since 64 is 4 cubed (4×4×4=64), and we are looking for the cube root of −64, we need to consider the negative aspect. The cube root of a negative number is negative, so the cube root of −64 is −4 because (−4)×(−4)×(−4)=−64.
