<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>, ∛885 is written as ( 8851/3). 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 885, then y3 can be 885. Since the cube root of 885 is not an exact value, we can write it as approximately 9.545.</p>
