Find the cube root of −125:−125−−−−√3 .(1 point)

1 answer

To find the cube root of \(-125\), we denote it as \(\sqrt[3]{-125}\).

The cube root function can take negative numbers, and the cube root of a negative number will also be negative. To calculate:

\[ \sqrt[3]{-125} = -\sqrt[3]{125} \]

Since \(125 = 5^3\), we get:

\[ \sqrt[3]{125} = 5 \]

Thus, the cube root of \(-125\) is:

\[ \sqrt[3]{-125} = -5 \]

So, the answer is:

\(-5\)
