<p>We have learned the definition of the<a>cube</a>root. Now, let’s learn how it is represented using a<a>symbol</a>and<a>exponent</a>. The symbol we use to express the cube root is the radical sign (∛), and the exponent we use is ⅓. In<a>exponential form</a>, ∛-3 is written as (-3)^(1/3). The cube root is just the opposite operation of finding the cube of a<a>number</a>. For example: Assume ‘y’ as the cube root of -3, then y^3 can be -3. Since the cube root of -3 is not an exact value, we can write it as approximately -1.4422.</p>

<p>Cube root: The number that is multiplied three times by itself to get the given number is the cube root of that number. Perfect cube: A number is a perfect cube when it is the product of multiplying a number three times by itself. A perfect cube always results in a whole number. Exponent: The exponent form of the number denotes the number of times a number can be multiplied by itself. In (-3)^(1/3), ⅓ is the exponent which denotes the cube root of -3. Radical sign: The symbol used to represent a root, expressed as (∛). Irrational number: Numbers that cannot be put in fractional forms are irrational. For example, the cube root of -3 is irrational because its decimal form goes on continuously without repeating the numbers.</p>
