    Answer

    ∛(−512) =
    −8

    Real cube root: the only number whose cube is −512.

    A negative number has a negative cube root: (−8)³ = −512. There is no real square root of −512.

    Sign
    ∛(−512) = −∛512, because (−a)³ = −a³
    Prime factors
    512 = (2 × 2 × 2) × (2 × 2 × 2) × (2 × 2 × 2) = 2⁹
    Take out of the root
    ∛512 = ∛((2³)³) = 2³ = 8
    Check
    8 × 8 × 8 = 512 ✓

    FAQ

    What is the cube root of −512?

    ∛(−512) = −8

    Why does the cube root of −512 exist but the square root does not?

    A cube keeps the sign: (−8)³ = −512, so ∛(−512) = −8. The square of any real number is never negative, so no real number squared gives −512.

    Is ∛(−512) a rational number?

    Yes: ∛(−512) = −8, a whole number.
