Worksheet Overview

When we find the cube of an algebraic term, we simply multiply it by itself and then by itself again.

Thus the cube of 2a4 is  

 

2a4 x 2a4 x 2a4 = 8a12

 

The reverse of cubing is finding the cube root.

 

So  38a12 = 2a4

 

This means that we find the cube root of the number and divide the index by 3.

 

Let's try some questions.
