<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>, ∛387 is written using these notations. 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 387, then y can be written such that y³ = 387. Since the cube root of 387 is not an exact value, we can approximate it as approximately 7.2657.</p>
