Solving Equations Using Cube Roots

This lesson teaches how to solve equations of the form x cubed equals p, where p is a positive rational number. Using a practical example of determining the dimensions of a chocolate cube with a volume of 64 cubic centimeters, the lesson demonstrates the process of isolating the variable by taking the cube root of both sides of the equation. The solution is verified by substituting back into the original equation, confirming that each side length of the chocolate cube should be 4 centimeters. The lesson concludes with a recap of solving cubic equations.
