One of the method you may use is differential approximation
f(x + $x) - f(x) = f/(x) . $x --------------------------(1)
for eg
Find cube root of 126
Let x =125 and $x = 1
Let f(x) = x1/3
=> f/(x) = 1/3 x-2/3
From (1)
f (126) - f(125) = 1/3 (125-2/3) . 1
=> 1261/3 - 1251/3 = 1/3 . 1/25
=> 1261/3 = 5 + 1/75 = 5.0133
You can check its truth by calculator
Note - You can use this method to find even hihger order roots or even values of tan 46 etc.
Thanks
