Completing Cube Root Inequality Statement
The image shows an incomplete mathematical inequality statement that involves a cube root:
Complete the following statement. Use < or >.
< cube_root(15) <
To complete the statement, we need to find two numbers that the cube root of 15 lies between. The cube root of a number is a value that, when multiplied by itself three times, gives the original number. Since we know that the cube root of 8 (2^3) is 2 and the cube root of 27 (3^3) is 3, we can say that the cube root of 15 must lie between 2 and 3, because 15 is between 8 and 27.
Therefore, the completed statement is:
2 < cube_root(15) < 3
This reads as "2 is less than the cube root of 15, which is less than 3."
