  2. Cube root - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cube_root

    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 ...

  3. nth root - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nth_root

    In mathematics, taking the nth root is an operation involving two numbers, the radicand and the index or degree. Taking the nth root is written as , where x is the radicand and n is the index (also sometimes called the degree). This is pronounced as "the nth root of x". The definition then of an nth root of a number x is a number r (the root ...

  4. Halley's method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halley's_method

    Halley's method. In numerical analysis, Halley's method is a root-finding algorithm used for functions of one real variable with a continuous second derivative. Edmond Halley was an English mathematician and astronomer who introduced the method now called by his name. The algorithm is second in the class of Householder's methods, after Newton's ...

    The second step is to determine the first digit of the two-digit cube root by looking at the magnitude of the given cube. To do this, remove the last three digits of the given cube (29791 → 29) and find the greatest cube it is greater than (this is where knowing the cubes of numbers 1-10 is needed). Here, 29 is greater than 1 cubed, greater ...

  6. Dudeney number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dudeney_number

    A natural number is a sociable Dudeney root if it is a periodic point for ,, where , = for a positive integer , and forms a cycle of period . A Dudeney root is a sociable Dudeney root with k = 1 {\displaystyle k=1} , and a amicable Dudeney root is a sociable Dudeney root with k = 2 {\displaystyle k=2} .

  7. 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 ...

  8. Nested radical - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nested_radical

    Nested radical. In algebra, a nested radical is a radical expression (one containing a square root sign, cube root sign, etc.) that contains (nests) another radical expression. Examples include. which arises in discussing the regular pentagon, and more complicated ones such as.

  9. Doubling the cube - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doubling_the_cube

    Doubling the cube, also known as the Delian problem, is an ancient [a] [1] : 9 geometric problem. Given the edge of a cube, the problem requires the construction of the edge of a second cube whose volume is double that of the first. As with the related problems of squaring the circle and trisecting the angle, doubling the cube is now known to ...
