Question Number 180730 by sciencestudent last updated on 16/Nov/22
is it ((125x^3 ))^(1/3)   a polynomial?
$${is}\:{it}\:\sqrt[{\mathrm{3}}]{\mathrm{125}{x}^{\mathrm{3}} }\:\:{a}\:{polynomial}? \\ $$

No. But for x∈R it is equal to a polynomial:  ((125x^3 ))^(1/3) =5x  Because in R we define ((−r))^(1/3) =−(r)^(1/3)  wherelse  for x∈C we have x=re^(iθ)  and (x)^(1/3) =(r)^(1/3) e^(i(θ/3)) .  in R ((−1))^(1/3) =−(1)^(1/3) =−1  in C ((−1))^(1/3) =(1)^(1/3) e^(i(π/3)) =(1/2)+((√3)/2)i
