How does finding the square root of a number compare to finding the cube root of a number? Use the number 64 in your explanation.

Do you want the actual algorithm to find the square root by hand ?

Here is a good expanation and example to follow.

To find the cube root of a number is a bit more complicated and in our days is considered impractical, but here is a method explained. Look at the 2nd example scrolling down about 1/3 of the page

If you want to know the concept of square roots and cube roots ?
the square root of a number is that number which when multiplied by itself two times gives us that number
e.g.
√64 = x , so that (x)(x) = 64
and from our multiplication table we know that
(8)(8) = 64 , so that
√64 = 8

the cube root of a number is that number which when multiplied by itself three times gives us that number
e.g.
∛64 = x , so that (x)(x)(x) = 64 , and thus x = 4 because 4x4x4 = 64
so ∛64 = 4

math is cring

We just want homework help stop shouting out ig

I'm sorry "math is cring" what is that supposed to mean. Crying or cringe

What is happening on this question? All I wanted to know was the difference for help on a quiz that I don't understand.

I am not 100% sure but A square root is a number that when multiplied by itself gives you the original number and a cube root is a number that has to be multiplied by itself multiple times to get the original number for example the square root of 64 is 8 because you only have to multiply 8 by 8 once to get 64 while the cube root of 64 is 4 because you have to multiply 4 by 4 twice. These subjects are similar by the way you have to multiply a number by itself to get the original number.

If you think this is correct and choose to use it please rephrase it

So there is no easy answer

Got it

*comes here for help on 10 but gets answer for 9 instead*

for 9 I wrote Any decimal which terminates is rational

any decimal which has a repeat is rational
any decimal which does not show any repeating decimals and which is never-ending is irrational

Me too.
