Which of the following is a solution to the equation below?

p³ = -125
Responses
A -5-5
B 55
C 2525
D -25

1 answer

To solve the equation \( p^3 = -125 \), we need to find the cube root of \(-125\).

The cube root of \(-125\) is \(-5\), because:

\[ (-5)^3 = -5 \times -5 \times -5 = -125 \]

Now let's look at the provided options:

A. -5
B. 5
C. 25
D. -25

The only solution that satisfies the equation \( p^3 = -125 \) is:

A. -5
