  2. Cube root - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cube_root

    In mathematics, a cube root of a number x is a number y such that y3 = x. All nonzero real numbers have exactly one real cube root and a pair of complex conjugate cube roots, and all nonzero complex numbers have three distinct complex cube roots. For example, the real cube root of 8, denoted , is 2, because 23 = 8, while the other cube roots of ...

    Radical symbol. In mathematics, the radical symbol, radical sign, root symbol, radix, or surd is a symbol for the square root or higher-order root of a number. The square root of a number x is written as. while the n th root of x is written as. It is also used for other meanings in more advanced mathematics, such as the radical of an ideal .

  4. Cubic equation - Wikipedia

    where the symbols and are interpreted as any square root and any cube root, respectively (every nonzero complex number has two square roots and three cubic roots). The sign " ± " before the square root is either " + " or " – "; the choice is almost arbitrary, and changing it amounts to choosing a different square root.

  5. Cube (algebra) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cube_(algebra)

    The cube function is the function x ↦ x 3 (often denoted y = x 3) that maps a number to its cube. It is an odd function, as (−n) 3 = −(n 3). The volume of a geometric cube is the cube of its side length, giving rise to the name. The inverse operation that consists of finding a number whose cube is n is called extracting the cube root of n ...

    The real cube root is and the principal cube root is +. An unresolved root, especially one using the radical symbol, is sometimes referred to as a surd [1] or a radical . [2] Any expression containing a radical, whether it is a square root, a cube root, or a higher root, is called a radical expression , and if it contains no transcendental ...

    Glossary of mathematical symbols. A mathematical symbol is a figure or a combination of figures that is used to represent a mathematical object, an action on mathematical objects, a relation between mathematical objects, or for structuring the other symbols that occur in a formula. As formulas are entirely constituted with symbols of various ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadratic_formula

    In elementary algebra, the quadratic formula is a closed-form expression describing the solutions of a quadratic equation. Other ways of solving quadratic equations, such as completing the square, yield the same solutions. where the plus–minus symbol " " indicates that the equation has two roots. [1]

    Square sign may refer to: The number sign #. The radical symbol. {\displaystyle {\sqrt {\,\,}}} or √ used for square root, or its precomposed form with a number, such as the Unicode characters for the cube root and the fourth root, ∛ and ∜. Any square -shaped symbol, including many geometrically shaped Unicode characters. Category:
