Choose all the true statements.
What two whole numbers does each cube root lie between? Explain your reasoning.
[math]\sqrt[3]{5}[/math]
[math]\sqrt[3]{23}[/math]
[math]\sqrt[3]{81}[/math]
[math]\sqrt[3]{999}[/math]
The numbers x, y, and z are positive. Plot x, y, and z on the number line. Be prepared to share your reasoning with the class.
Diego knows that [math]8^2=64[/math] and that [math]4^3=64[/math]. He says that this means the following are all true:[br][list][*][math]\sqrt{64}=8[/math][/*][*][math]\sqrt[3]{64}=4[/math][/*][*][math]\sqrt{-64}=-8[/math][/*][*][math]\sqrt[3]{-64}=-4[/math][br][br][/*][/list]Is he correct? Explain how you know.
