What are all the cube roots of -64?
Determine the cube roots of -64
Find the required roots:
z3=-64⇒z3+64=0⇒z3+43=0⇒z+4z2+42-4z=0⇒z+4=0,orz2+42-4z=0⇒z=-4,orz2-4z+16=0
Solvez2+42-4z=0:
z2-4z+16=0⇒z=4±42-4×1×162×1⇒z=4±16-642⇒z=4±-482⇒z=4±43i2⇒z=4+43i2,4-43i2∴z=2+23i,2-23i
Hence, the cubic roots of -64 are -4,2+23i,2-23i.
The square root of 64 divided by the cube root of 64 is
