Answer:

Yes, it would be negative

Explanation:

Yes, the cube root of a negative number can be found without using imaginary numbers to represent it.

The cube of a number is that number multiplied by itself 3 times so:

a^3 = a*a*a

if "a" is negative then the cube of "a" will be negative. Hence the cube root of a negative number will be negative.
