Here we will show you how to calculate the cube root of 9 minus the cube root of 20. In other words, we will calculate ∛9 - ∛20.
To calculate the cube root of 9 minus the cube root of 20, we will first take the cube root of each number and then find the difference. Here is the math and the answer:
∛9 ≈ 2.0801
∛20 ≈ 2.7144
2.0801 - 2.7144 = -0.6343
∛9 - ∛20 ≈ -0.6343
For your convenience, we have also included the answer to the cube root of 9 minus the cube root of 20 in its simplest radical form:
