Answer:
(-1)^2/3 = 1^1/3.
Every number has 3 cube roots. Let's find the cube roots of 1. It's equivalent to finding the roots of this cubic :
x^3-1 = 0.
(x-1)(x^2 + x + 1) = 0.
x - 1 = 0 or x^2 + x + 1 = 0.
x = 1.
To find other 2 roots, we've to solve this quadratic.
A quadratic formula yields :
x = (-1 ± √(3)i)/2.
And we're done !!
Now, we know all 3 cube roots of 3. You can find cube roots of any rational number by this way.
Cheers!!
