Key Concepts
Here are the essential concepts you must grasp in order to answer the question correctly.
Cube Roots
A cube root of a number is a value that, when multiplied by itself three times, gives the original number. For example, the cube root of 27 is 3, since 3 × 3 × 3 = 27. Cube roots can be positive or negative, as both will yield the same result when cubed.
