FAQ

What is the cube root of 9/2?

∛(9/2) = ∛36/2 ≈ 1.651

Why is ∛(9/2) = ∛36/2?

∛(9/2) = ∛9/∛2. Multiplying the numerator and the denominator by ∛(2²) = ∛4 makes the denominator a perfect cube: ∛36/∛8 = ∛36/2. The value does not change; only the root leaves the denominator.

Is ∛(9/2) a rational number?

No: 9/2 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 ∛(9/2) is irrational; its decimal never ends and never repeats: ∛(9/2) ≈ 1.651.
