Here we will show you how to calculate the cube root of 8 minus the cube root of 17. In other words, we will calculate ∛8 - ∛17.
To calculate the cube root of 8 minus the cube root of 17, we will first take the cube root of each number and then find the difference. Here is the math and the answer:
∛8 = 2
∛17 ≈ 2.5713
2 - 2.5713 = -0.5713
∛8 - ∛17 ≈ -0.5713
For your convenience, we have also included the answer to the cube root of 8 minus the cube root of 17 in its simplest radical form:
