number. (this is represented by a 3 in the crest of the radical)
ex. 3 in the crest of the radical would be shown as 4x4x4=64
*this also applies the same to 4th, 5th roots, etc.* Answer: cube root
◉ any positive/negative whole number, or zero. cannot contain
decimals or fractions.
a "set" of intergers is simply a set of all kinds of numbers used in a
grouping (excluding decimals and fractions)
ex. -414, -5, 0, 3, 19, 179, 1008 Answer: interger
