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 ...

3. Cubic function - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cubic_function

   Here the function is f(x) = (x3 + 3x2 − 6x − 8)/4. In mathematics, a cubic function is a function of the form that is, a polynomial function of degree three. In many texts, the coefficients a, b, c, and d are supposed to be real numbers, and the function is considered as a real function that maps real numbers to real numbers or as a complex ...

4. Complex conjugate root theorem - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complex_conjugate_root_theorem

   In mathematics, the complex conjugate root theorem states that if P is a polynomial in one variable with real coefficients, and a + bi is a root of P with a and b real numbers, then its complex conjugate a − bi is also a root of P. [1] It follows from this (and the fundamental theorem of algebra) that, if the degree of a real polynomial is ...

5. Generalized continued fraction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generalized_continued_fraction

   The square root can also be expressed by a periodic continued fraction, but the above form converges more quickly with the proper x and y. Example 1. The cube root of two (2 1/3 or 3 √ 2 ≈ 1.259921...) can be calculated in two ways: Firstly, "standard notation" of x = 1, y = 1, and 2z − y = 3:

6. Cubic equation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cubic_equation

   The other roots of the equation are obtained either by changing of cube root or, equivalently, by multiplying the cube root by a primitive cube root of unity, that is . This formula for the roots is always correct except when p = q = 0 , with the proviso that if p = 0 , the square root is chosen so that C ≠ 0 .

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 ...
