an equation is given.

(a) (a) (a) = - 1,000

what is the value of a ?

1 answer

To solve the equation \( a^3 = -1000 \), we can take the cube root of both sides:

\[ a = \sqrt[3]{-1000} \]

Calculating the cube root:

\[ \sqrt[3]{-1000} = -10 \]

Therefore, the value of \( a \) is

\[ \boxed{-10} \]
