Here we will show you how to calculate the cube root of 8 minus the cube root of 23. In other words, we will calculate ∛8 - ∛23.
To calculate the cube root of 8 minus the cube root of 23, we will first take the cube root of each number and then find the difference. Here is the math and the answer:
∛8 = 2
∛23 ≈ 2.8439
2 - 2.8439 = -0.8439
∛8 - ∛23 ≈ -0.8439
For your convenience, we have also included the answer to the cube root of 8 minus the cube root of 23 in its simplest radical form:
