Describe in words where cube root of 52 would be plotted on a number line.

Question

a) Between 4 and 5, but closer to 5

b) Between 4 and 5, but closer to 4

c) Between 3 and 4, but closer to 4

d) Between 3 and 4, but closer to 3

Answer 1

To determine where the cube root of 52 would be plotted on a number line, we need to estimate its value.

The cube root function is the inverse of the cube function. Since 2^3 = 8 and 3^3 = 27, we can estimate that the cube root of 52 is between 3 and 4.

Option (c) states that the cube root of 52 is between 3 and 4, but closer to 4. This is the correct answer.
