Use a calculator to find the cube root to the nearest hundredth. $$\sqrt [ 3 ] { - 210 }$$

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The cube root of a negative number is also negative.
We can use the calculator to find that $\sqrt [ 3 ] { 210 } \approx 6.50$
Since $6^3=216$ and $7^3=343$, we know that the cube root of $210$ is between $6$ and $7$.
Therefore, the only possible answer choice is A, and using the calculator, we get $\sqrt [ 3 ] { - 210 } \approx - 5.93 \approx - 5.94$ to the nearest hundredth.
