Question 12 Marks
Evaluate:
$\sqrt[3]{4096}$
Answer
$\sqrt[3]{4096}$ By prime factorisation, we have$4096=\underline{2\times2\times2}\times\underline{2\times2\times2}\times\underline{2\times2\times2}$
$= (2\times2\times2)^3$ $=8^3$ $\therefore\sqrt[3]{4096}=8$

Question 22 Marks
Evaluate:
$\sqrt[3]{-216}$
Answer
We know that $\sqrt[3]{-216}=-\sqrt[3]{216}$
Resolving 216 into prime factors,
We get,
$216= \underline{2\times2\times 2}\times\underline{3\times3\times3}$
$= (2\times 3)^3$
$=(6)^3$
$\therefore\sqrt[3]{216}=6 $
$\therefore\sqrt[3]{-216}=-(\sqrt[3]{216})=-6 $
