Homonym: n^{1/3 (Root)
The expression n^1/3 represents the cube root of a number n . This means that if you multiply n^1/3 by itself three times, you will get back the original number n . For example, if n = 27 , then n^1/3 = 3 because 3 \times 3 \times 3 = 27 .
In mathematics, cube roots are important in various fields, including algebra and geometry. They help in solving equations and understanding the properties of three-dimensional shapes, such as cubes. The concept of cube roots is also related to other roots, like square roots, which are denoted as n^1/2 .
