Here we will show you how to calculate the cube root of 8 minus the cube root of 5. In other words, we will calculate ∛8 - ∛5.
To calculate the cube root of 8 minus the cube root of 5, we will first take the cube root of each number and then find the difference. Here is the math and the answer:
∛8 = 2
∛5 ≈ 1.71
2 - 1.71 = 0.29
∛8 - ∛5 ≈ 0.29
For your convenience, we have also included the answer to the cube root of 8 minus the cube root of 5 in its simplest radical form:
2 - ∛5
