## Usage

```javascript
var rcbrt = require( '@stdlib/math/base/special/rcbrt' );
```

#### rcbrt( x )

Computes the reciprocal (inverse) cube root of a double-precision floating-point number.

```javascript
var v = rcbrt( 1.0 );
// returns 1.0

v = rcbrt( 8.0 );
// returns 0.5

v = rcbrt( 1000.0 );
// returns 0.1

v = rcbrt( 0.0 );
// returns Infinity

v = rcbrt( NaN );
// returns NaN

v = rcbrt( Infinity );
// returns 0.0
```

## Examples

<!-- eslint no-undef: "error" -->

```javascript
var randu = require( '@stdlib/random/base/randu' );
var round = require( '@stdlib/math/base/special/round' );
var rcbrt = require( '@stdlib/math/base/special/rcbrt' );

var x;
var i;

for ( i = 0; i < 100; i++ ) {
    x = round( randu() * 100.0 );
    console.log( 'rcbrt(%d) = %d', x, rcbrt( x ) );
}

### Usage

```c
#include "stdlib/math/base/special/rcbrt.h"
```

#### stdlib_base_rcbrt( x )

Computes the reciprocal (inverse) [cube root][cube-root] of a double-precision floating-point number.

```c
double y = stdlib_base_rcbrt( 8.0 );
// returns 0.5
```

The function accepts the following arguments:

-   **x**: `[in] double` input value.

```c
double stdlib_base_rcbrt( const double x );
```
