Square RootsSquaring a Number: 7·7 = 72 = 49Squaring Negatives: (-7)·(-7) = (-7)2 = 49
The Square Roots = 7 of 49: = -749

Recognizing Perfect Cubes (X)3
Why? You’ll do homework easier, score higher on tests. Memorize some common perfect cubes of integers
1 8 27 64 125 216 … 1000 13 23 33 43 53 63 … 103
Unlike squares, perfect cubes of negative integers are different: -1 -8 -27 -64 -125 -216 … -1000 (-1)3 (-2)3 (-3)3 (-4)3 (-5)3 (-6)3 … (-10)3
Flashback: Do you remember how to tell if an integer divides evenly by 3? Variables with exponents divisible by 3 are also perfect cubes
x3 = (x)3 y6 = (y2)3 -b15 = (-b5)3
Monomials, too, if all factors are also perfect cubes a3b15 = (ab5)3 -64x18 = (-4x6)3 125x6y3z51 = (5x2yz17)3
