An integer with cubic root that is not constructible

303 Views Asked by At

Prove that for an integer $n$ which is not of the form $a^3$, $\sqrt[3]{n}$ is not constructible using that fact that if a cubic equation with rational coefficients has a constructible root then the equation has a rational root.

From what I gather a contradiction must be shown in that one side of the equation must be shown to be equal to an irrational number. Can someone show this proof?
