Is this it:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+sqrt%28+-8%2Ax%5E3+%29+\"$ ? If so:
\n" ); document.write( "You can break it up like this:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+sqrt%28+-8%2Ax%5E3+%29+=+sqrt%28+-1%2A8%2Ax%5E3+%29+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+sqrt%28-1%29+%2A+sqrt%288%29+%2A+sqrt%28+x%5E3+%29+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+i+%2A+2%2Asqrt%282%29+%2A+sqrt%28x%5E3%29+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+2%2Asqrt%28+2x%5E3+%29%2Ai+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "This is only slightly better, so you're
