Cube Roots
The cube root of a number x is that number cube gives x. We denote the cube root of x by ∛x.
(i) Since (2 x 2 x 2) = 8, we have ∛8 = 2.
(ii) Since (5 x 5 x 5) = 125, we have ∛125 = 5.
Method of Finding the cube Root of a Given Number by Factorisation:
Step 1: Express the given number as the product of primes.
Step 2: Make groups in triplets of the same prime.
Step 3: Find the product of primes, choosing one from each triplet.
Step 4: This product is the required cube root of the given number.
Evaluate ∛216.
By prime factorisation, we have
216 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 3
= (2 x 2 x 2) x (3 x 3 x 3) 216 = (2 x 3) = 6.
Cube Root of a Negative Perfect Cube
Let a be a positive integer. Then, (-a) is a negative integer.
We know that (-a)³ = -a³.
Find the cube root of (-1000).
Resolving 1000 into ∛ (-1000) = -∛1000.
1000 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 5 x 5 x 5
∛1000 = (2 x 5) = 10.
∛-1000 = -∛1000 = -10.
Cube Root of Product of Integers
We have, ∛ab = ∛a x ∛b
Evaluate ∛ (125 x 64)
We have:
∛ (125 x 64) = ∛ (125) x ∛ (64)
∛ (5 x 5 x 5) x ∛ (4 x 4 x 4) = 5 x 4 = 20
Cube Root of a Rational Number
We have, ∛ (a/b) = ∛a / ∛b
Evaluate: ∛ (27/64)
We have, ∛ (27/64) = ∛27 / ∛64
= ∛ (3 x 3 x 3)/ ∛ (4 x 4 x 4)
= ¾
What Is a Perfect Cube?
A perfect cube is a number that is the cube of an integer. Some examples of perfect cubes are 1, 8, 27, 64.
How do you find the cube root of 729?
The cube root of 729, denoted as ∛729, is a value which after getting multiplied by itself thrice gives the original value. This is the usual definition of the cube root of a number. Let us say, ‘n’ is the value of 3√729, then n × n × n = n³ = 729.
= 9 x 9 x 9 = 9
