how many solutions does this equation have X^3=64?

It depends on the domain.

- Over the real numbers: 1 solution, x = 4.
- Over the complex numbers: 3 solutions (a cubic has three complex roots). They are
x = 4 and x = 4 e^{±i2π/3} = -2 ± 2i√3.

(Equivalently factor x^3 − 64 = (x − 4)(x^2 + 4x + 16) and solve the quadratic for the two nonreal roots.)
