Here we will show you how to calculate the cube root of 8 minus the cube root of 36. In other words, we will calculate ∛8 - ∛36.
To calculate the cube root of 8 minus the cube root of 36, we will first take the cube root of each number and then find the difference. Here is the math and the answer:
∛8 = 2
∛36 ≈ 3.3019
2 - 3.3019 = -1.3019
∛8 - ∛36 ≈ -1.3019
For your convenience, we have also included the answer to the cube root of 8 minus the cube root of 36 in its simplest radical form:
