When a number is multiplied by itself thrice, the resultant number is called the cube of a number. Cubing is used when comparing sizes of objects or things with cubic measurements. In this topic, we shall learn about cubes of 149.
A cube number is a value obtained by raising a number to the power of 3, or by multiplying the number by itself three times. When you cube a positive number, the result is always positive. When you cube a negative number, the result is always negative. This is because a negative number multiplied by itself three times results in a negative number.
The cube of 149 can be written as 149³, which is the exponential form. Or it can also be written in arithmetic form as 149 × 149 × 149.
To determine if a number is a cube number, we can use the following three methods: multiplication method, a factor formula (a³), or by using a calculator. These three methods will help individuals cube numbers faster and easier without feeling confused or stuck while evaluating the answers.
The multiplication method is a process in mathematics used to find the product of two numbers or quantities by combining them through repeated addition. It is a fundamental operation that forms the basis for more complex mathematical concepts.
Step 1: Write down the cube of the given number. 149³ = 149 × 149 × 149
Step 2: You get 3,307,149 as the answer. Hence, the cube of 149 is 3,307,149.
The formula (a + b)³ is a binomial formula for finding the cube of a number. The formula is expanded as a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³.
Step 1: Split the number 149 into two parts, such as 140 and 9. Let a = 140 and b = 9, so a + b = 149
Step 2: Now, apply the formula (a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³
Step 3: Calculate each term a³ = 140³ 3a²b = 3 × 140² × 9 3ab² = 3 × 140 × 9² b³ = 9³
Step 4: Add all the terms together:
(a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³
(140 + 9)³ = 140³ + 3 × 140² × 9 + 3 × 140 × 9² + 9³
149³ = 2,744,000 + 529,200 + 34,020 + 729
149³ = 3,307,149
Step 5: Hence, the cube of 149 is 3,307,149.
To find the cube of 149 using a calculator, input the number 149 and use the cube function (if available) or multiply 149 × 149 × 149. This operation calculates the value of 149³, resulting in 3,307,149. It’s a quick way to determine the cube without manual computation.
Step 1: Ensure the calculator is functioning properly.
Step 2: Press 1, 4, and 9
Step 3: If the calculator has a cube function, press it to calculate 149³.
Step 4: If there is no cube function on the calculator, simply multiply 149 three times manually.
Step 5: The calculator will display 3,307,149.
There are some typical errors that individuals might make during the process of cubing a number. Let us take a look at five of the major mistakes that might occur:
What is the cube and cube root of 149?
The cube of 149 is 3,307,149 and the cube root of 149 is approximately 5.313.
First, let’s find the cube of 149. We know that the cube of a number, such that x³ = y Where x is the given number, and y is the cubed value of that number
So, we get 149³ = 3,307,149
Next, we must find the cube root of 149 We know that the cube root of a number ‘x’, such that ³√x = y
Where ‘x’ is the given number, and y is the cube root value of the number
So, we get ³√149 ≈ 5.313
Hence the cube of 149 is 3,307,149 and the cube root of 149 is approximately 5.313.
If the side length of the cube is 149 cm, what is the volume?
The volume is 3,307,149 cm³.
Use the volume formula for a cube V = Side³.
Substitute 149 for the side length: V = 149³ = 3,307,149 cm³.
How much larger is 149³ than 100³?
149³ – 100³ = 2,307,149.
First find the cube of 149, that is 3,307,149
Next, find the cube of 100, which is 1,000,000
Now, find the difference between them using the subtraction method.
3,307,149 – 1,000,000 = 2,307,149
Therefore, 149³ is 2,307,149 larger than 100³.
If a cube with a side length of 149 cm is compared to a cube with a side length of 50 cm, how much larger is the volume of the larger cube?
The volume of the cube with a side length of 149 cm is 3,307,149 cm³
To find its volume, we multiply the side length by itself three times (since it’s a 3-dimensional object).
Cubing 149 means multiplying 149 by itself three times: 149 × 149 = 22,201, and then 22,201 × 149 = 3,307,149.
The unit of volume is cubic centimeters (cm³), because we are calculating the space inside the cube.
Therefore, the volume of the cube is 3,307,149 cm³.
Estimate the cube of 148.9 using the cube of 149.
The cube of 148.9 is approximately 3,307,149.
First, identify the cube of 149, The cube of 149 is 149³ = 3,307,149.
Since 148.9 is only a tiny bit less than 149, the cube of 148.9 will be almost the same as the cube of 149.
The cube of 148.9 is approximately 3,307,149 because the difference between 148.9 and 149 is very small.
So, we can approximate the value as 3,307,149.
