cube root![]() Any value multiplied by itself is a square. If that value is multiplied by itself and then by itself again, it is termed a cube. Squares and cubes are represented by the exponent powers 2 and 3 respectively. The reverse operations to squaring and cubing would be finding the square root and finding the cube root. Number that, multiplied by itself, and then by the product, produces the cube. For example, 3 × 3 × 3 = 27, 3 being the cube root of 27, which is the cube of 3. How to thank TFD for its existence?

I had to summon a good deal of courage to take a student who had been studying cube root and "banking and discount," and explain to him that the wisest thing for him to do first was thoroughly master the multiplication table. He had seen too much of life, and his mind was too matured, to be wholly content with fractions, cube root, parsing, and analysis; and there were times when their conversation turned on other themes - the last poetry he had read, the latest poet she had studied. |
