cube root of 34 rounded to the nearest tenth

sammixboo (sammixboo):

When you want to cube something, you multiply itself 3 times, but if you want to find the cube root of something, you have to find that one number that was multiplied 3 times by itself to get your answer

sammixboo (sammixboo):

Calculator is needed for this

OpenStudy (mrnood):

do oyu need to show how oyu derived it? or do 'successive approximations until you are within nearest tenth

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But is possible to get a nearest tenth is the question?

sammixboo (sammixboo):

\(\tt \sqrt[3]34=n^3\)

OpenStudy (mrnood):

@TypnoEchosis What do you mean by this? It is evidently possible to round this number to th enearest 1 dp

sammixboo (sammixboo):

Yes. Just find the cube root of 34 and then round to the nearest tenth

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nevermind guys I found out the nearest tenth my self :) Thanks anyway :D It's 5.8

OpenStudy (mrnood):

not correct

OpenStudy (mrnood):

6 cubed is 216 - so 5.8 cubed cannot be 34

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Actually yes

OpenStudy (mrnood):

actually no you have worked out the square root , not the cube root

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I know xD I found out I actually needed the square root <.>

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yep I had to re read what I was doing

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It actually said square not cube xD
