# Function cbrt
Calculate the cubic root of a value.
For matrices, the function is evaluated element wise.
## Syntax
```js
math.cbrt(x)
math.cbrt(x, allRoots)
```
### Parameters
Parameter | Type | Description
--------- | ---- | -----------
`x` | number &#124; BigNumber &#124; Complex &#124; Unit &#124; Array &#124; Matrix | Value for which to calculate the cubic root.
`allRoots` | boolean | Optional, false by default. Only applicable when `x` is a number or complex number. If true, all complex roots are returned, if false (default) the principal root is returned.
### Returns
Type | Description
---- | -----------
number &#124; BigNumber &#124; Complex &#124; Unit &#124; Array &#124; Matrix | Returns the cubic root of `x`
### Throws
Type | Description
---- | -----------
## Examples
```js
math.cbrt(27) // returns 3
math.cube(3) // returns 27
math.cbrt(-64) // returns -4
math.cbrt(math.unit('27 m^3')) // returns Unit 3 m
math.cbrt([27, 64, 125]) // returns [3, 4, 5]
const x = math.complex('8i')
math.cbrt(x) // returns Complex 1.7320508075689 + i
math.cbrt(x, true) // returns Matrix [
// 1.7320508075689 + i
// -1.7320508075689 + i
// -2i
// ]
