Question

How does finding the square root of a number compare to finding the cube root of a number?

Use the number 64 in your explanation.

Answer 1

See explanation below

Explanation:

To find the principal square root of a number, we the number with an index of 2. The base then become the principal square root.

In the same way, we find the cube root of a number by writing the number with an index of 3 and the base becomes the cube root of the given number.

For instance:

`64=8^2\implies 8=√(64)`

`64=4^3\implies 4=\sqrt[3]{64}`
