Here we will show you how to calculate the cube root of 8 minus the cube root of 9. In other words, we will calculate ∛8 - ∛9.
To calculate the cube root of 8 minus the cube root of 9, we will first take the cube root of each number and then find the difference. Here is the math and the answer:
∛8 = 2
∛9 ≈ 2.0801
2 - 2.0801 = -0.0801
∛8 - ∛9 ≈ -0.0801
For your convenience, we have also included the answer to the cube root of 8 minus the cube root of 9 in its simplest radical form:
2 - ∛9
