Here we will show you how to calculate the cube root of 8 minus the cube root of 3. In other words, we will calculate ∛8 - ∛3.
To calculate the cube root of 8 minus the cube root of 3, we will first take the cube root of each number and then find the difference. Here is the math and the answer:
∛8 = 2
∛3 ≈ 1.4422
2 - 1.4422 = 0.5578
∛8 - ∛3 ≈ 0.5578
For your convenience, we have also included the answer to the cube root of 8 minus the cube root of 3 in its simplest radical form:
2 - ∛3
