How to take the cube root of negative 64 using prime factorization, cuberoot(-64)

The video tutorial explains how to find the cube root of -64. It begins by introducing the concept of cube roots and emphasizes the importance of understanding what number, when multiplied by itself three times, results in -64. The tutorial suggests starting with smaller numbers to simplify the process. It demonstrates that while 4 cubed gives 64, the cube root of -64 is -4, as -4 multiplied by itself three times equals -64. The video aims to clarify the process of determining cube roots, especially for negative numbers.
