  2. Cube root - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cube_root

    If this definition is used, the cube root of a negative number is a negative number. The three cube roots of 1. If x and y are allowed to be complex, then there are three solutions (if x is non-zero) and so x has three cube roots. A real number has one real cube root and two further cube roots which form a complex conjugate pair.

  3. Cube (algebra) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cube_(algebra)

    The cube of a number or any other mathematical expression is denoted by a superscript 3, for example 2 3 = 8 or (x + 1) 3. The cube is also the number multiplied by its square: n 3 = n × n 2 = n × n × n. The cube function is the function x ↦ x 3 (often denoted y = x 3) that maps a number to its cube. It is an odd function, as

  4. Sum of two cubes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sum_of_two_cubes

    A Cabtaxi number is the smallest positive number that can be expressed as a sum of two integer cubes in n ways, allowing the cubes to be negative or zero as well as positive. The smallest cabtaxi number after Cabtaxi(1) = 0, is Cabtaxi(2) = 91, [5] expressed as: + or

  5. nth root - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nth_root

    A root of degree 2 is called a square root and a root of degree 3, a cube root. Roots of higher degree are referred by using ordinal numbers, as in fourth root, twentieth root, etc. The computation of an n th root is a root extraction. For example, 3 is a square root of 9, since 3 2 = 9, and −3 is also a square root of 9, since (−3) 2 = 9.

  6. Cubic equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cubic_equation

    If only one root, say r 1, is real, then r 2 and r 3 are complex conjugates, which implies that r 2 – r 3 is a purely imaginary number, and thus that (r 2 – r 3) 2 is real and negative. On the other hand, r 1 – r 2 and r 1 – r 3 are complex conjugates, and their product is real and positive. [23]

  8. Cubic field - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cubic_field

    Since the sign of the discriminant of a number field K is (−1) r 2, where r 2 is the number of conjugate pairs of complex embeddings of K into C, the discriminant of a cubic field will be positive precisely when the field is totally real, and negative if it is a complex cubic field.

  9. Negative base - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negative_base

    A negative base (or negative radix) may be used to construct a non-standard positional numeral system.Like other place-value systems, each position holds multiples of the appropriate power of the system's base; but that base is negative—that is to say, the base b is equal to −r for some natural number r (r ≥ 2).
