A number multiplied by itself and then by itself again gives -1,000. What is the number?

1000

To find the number that meets this condition, we need to solve the equation x^3 = -1000, where x represents the unknown number.

To solve this equation, we need to find the cube root of -1000. Taking the cube root of a number means finding the number which, when raised to the power of 3, gives the original number.

The cube root of -1000 is -10, as (-10)^3 = -10 * -10 * -10 = -1000.

Therefore, the number that meets the condition is -10.

10 * 10 * 10 = ?

-10 x -10 x -10 = -1000
