Here we will show you how to calculate the cube root of 8 minus the cube root of 24. In other words, we will calculate ∛8 - ∛24.
To calculate the cube root of 8 minus the cube root of 24, we will first take the cube root of each number and then find the difference. Here is the math and the answer:
∛8 = 2
∛24 ≈ 2.8845
2 - 2.8845 = -0.8845
∛8 - ∛24 ≈ -0.8845
For your convenience, we have also included the answer to the cube root of 8 minus the cube root of 24 in its simplest radical form:
