Cube root approximation is somewhat of a black art. Some implementations manipulate the exponent bits of the floating-point number; i.e. they arrive at an initial approximation by dividing the exponent by 3. Cubic equations, which are polynomial equations of the third degree (meaning the highest power of the unknown is 3) can always be solved for their three solutions in terms of cube roots and square roots (although simpler expressions only in terms of square roots exist for all three solutions, if at least one of them is a rational number). If two of the solutions are complex numbers, then all three
Square root of 3 1. On the complex plane, this distance is expressed as mentioned below. It is the length of the space diagonal of a unit cube. The vesica piscis has a major axis to minor axis ratio equal to 1:, this can be shown by constructing two equilateral triangles within it. Multiplication of by the imaginary unit gives a square root of -3, an imaginary number. More exactly, (see square root of negative numbers). It is an Eisenstein integer. Namely, it is expressed as the difference between two non-real cubic roots of 1 (which are Eisenstein integers). In power engineering, the voltage
