Get the Cube Root of Each Element in Numpy Array

The Numpy library in Python comes with a number of built-in functions to perform common mathematical operations on arrays. In this tutorial, we will look at one such function that helps us get the element-wise cube root of a Numpy array with the help of some examples.

How to get the cube root in Numpy?

get cube root of all elements in numpy array

You can use the numpy.cbrt() function to get the cube root of each element in a Numpy array. Pass the array as an argument.

The following is the syntax –

numpy.cbrt(ar)

It returns an array containing the cube root value of each element in the passed array.

Let’s now look at a step-by-step example of using the numpy.cbrt() function.

Step 1 – Create a Numpy array

First, we will create a Numpy array that we will use throughout this tutorial.

import numpy as np

# create numpy array
ar = np.array([1, 0, 8, 27])
# display the array
print(ar)

Output:

[1 0 8 27]

Here, we used the numpy.array() function to create a Numpy array containing some numbers.

Step 2 – Get the cube root using numpy.cbrt()

To get the cube root of each element in a Numpy array, pass the array as an argument to the numpy.cbrt() function.

Let’s get the cube root for the array created above.

# get the cube root of each element
np.cbrt(ar)

Output:

array([1., 0., 2., 3.])

We get a Numpy array with the cube root value of each element in the array ar.

The numpy.cbrt() function works similarly on higher-dimensional arrays. For example, let’s apply this function to a 2D array of some numbers.

# create 2D numpy array
ar = np.array([[8, 27, 8],
               [0, 64, 0],
               [1, 125, 8]])
# get the cube root of each element
np.cbrt(ar)

Output:

array([[2., 3., 2.],
       [0., 4., 0.],
       [1., 5., 2.]])

You can see that we get the cube root value of each element in the 2D array.
