Lesson 7.2: Cube roots Objectives: To determine the cube root of a number. To Solve a cube root equation. EQ: How do you evaluate a cube root expression?
Cube Roots: Unlike square roots where we look for a number multiplied by itself, cube roots have a number multiplied by itself and by itself again. EX: Evaluate Determine what number times itself and by itself again equals 8.
Ex: Evaluate = -4 =3 = -5 Cube roots can be negative, square roots can’t be negative.
