DESCRIPTION

25       The  cbrt()  function returns the (real) cube root of x.  This function
26       cannot fail; every representable real value has  a  representable  real
27       cube root.
28

RETURN VALUE

30       These functions return the cube root of x.
31
32       If  x  is  +0,  -0,  positive infinity, negative infinity, or NaN, x is
33       returned.
34
