The cube root of xx (denoted by root(3)x3x) is a number that you multiply by itself three times to get xx.

The cube root of 88 is 22, because:

2*2*2=4*2=color(red)(8)222=42=8

You can also use exponents:

2^3=2^2*2^1=4*2=color(red)(8)23=2221=42=8

root(3)8= (8)^(1/3)=(2^3)^(1/3)=238=(8)13=(23)13=2

Explanation:

show that 8=2^38=23

cubic root of x equals x^(1/3)x13

cubic root of 8 equals (8)^(1/3)=(2^3)^(1/3)=2(8)13=(23)13=2

note that

(x^n)^m=x^(n*m)(xn)m=xnm
