Solve for b 17=b^3

$17 = b^{3}$

Step 1

Rewrite the equation as $b^{3} = 17$ .

$b^{3} = 17$

Step 2

Take the cube root of both sides of the equation to eliminate the exponent on the left side.

$b = \sqrt[3]{17}$

Step 3

The result can be shown in multiple forms.

Exact Form:

$b = \sqrt[3]{17}$

Decimal Form:

$b = 2.57128159 \dots$
