    What is the cube root of −49?

    Answer

    ∛(−49) =
    −∛49 ≈ −3.6593

    Real cube root: the only number whose cube is −49.

    ≈ — rounded to 4 decimal places. −49 is not the cube of a rational number, so ∛(−49) is irrational: its decimal expansion never ends and never repeats.

    A negative number has a negative cube root: (−∛49)³ = −49. There is no real square root of −49.

    Sign
    ∛(−49) = −∛49, because (−a)³ = −a³
    Prime factors
    49 = 7 × 7 = 7²
    Take out of the root
    No prime appears three times, so ∛49 is already in simplest form.
    Between cubes
    3³ = 27 < 49 < 64 = 4³, so 3 < ∛49 < 4 and ∛49 ≈ 3.6593

    Cube Root of −49 (∛(−49)): Exact Value and Decimal. ∛(−49) = −∛49 ≈ −3.6593. 49 has no cube factor but 1, so ∛49 is already simplest; it lies between 3 and 4. The minus comes out of the root.

    FAQ

    What is the cube root of −49?

    ∛(−49) = −∛49 ≈ −3.6593

    Why does the cube root of −49 exist but the square root does not?

    A cube keeps the sign: (−∛49)³ = −49, so ∛(−49) = −∛49. The square of any real number is never negative, so no real number squared gives −49.

    Is ∛(−49) a rational number?

    No: −49 is not the cube of a rational number, and the cube root of a fraction p/q in lowest terms is rational only when p and q are both cubes. So ∛(−49) is irrational; its decimal never ends and never repeats: ∛(−49) ≈ −3.6593.
