When working with exponents, the only way to get negative results is to raise a negative number to an odd power. Since cubing a number means raising it to the 3rd power—which is odd—the cube roots of negative numbers must also be negative.
This applies to perfect cubes and estimating other cube roots. Let's look at a perfect cube example because it's easier to write out. We are going to find 3√−64.
−4=(−4)1 is negative−4×−4=(−4)2=16 is positive−4×−4×−4=(−4)3=−64 is negative
