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 151.
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 by itself three times results in a negative number.
The cube of 151 can be written as 151³, which is the exponential form. Or it can also be written in arithmetic form as 151 × 151 × 151.
In order to check whether a number is a cube number or not, we can use the following three methods, such as multiplication method, a factor formula (a³), or by using a calculator. These three methods will help kids to cube the 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. 151³ = 151 × 151 × 151
Step 2: You get 3,444,151 as the answer. Hence, the cube of 151 is 3,444,151.
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 151 into two parts. Let a = 150 and b = 1, so a + b = 151
Step 2: Now, apply the formula (a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³
Step 3: Calculate each term a³ = 150³
3a²b = 3 × 150² × 1
3ab² = 3 × 150 × 1²
b³ = 1³
Step 4: Add all the terms together:
(a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³
(150 + 1)³ = 150³ + 3 × 150² × 1 + 3 × 150 × 1² + 1³
151³ = 3,375,000 + 67,500 + 450 + 1 151³ = 3,444,151
Step 5: Hence, the cube of 151 is 3,444,151.
To find the cube of 151 using a calculator, input the number 151 and use the cube function (if available) or multiply 151 × 151 × 151. This operation calculates the value of 151³, resulting in 3,444,151. It’s a quick way to determine the cube without manual computation.
Step 1: Ensure the calculator is functioning properly.
Step 2: Press 1 followed by 5 and 1
Step 3: If the calculator has a cube function, press it to calculate 151³.
Step 4: If there is no cube function on the calculator, simply multiply 151 three times manually.
Step 5: The calculator will display 3,444,151.
There are some typical errors that kids might make during the process of cubing a number. Let us take a look at five of the major mistakes that kids might make:
What is the cube and cube root of 151?
The cube of 151 is 3,444,151 and the cube root of 151 is approximately 5.313.
First, let’s find the cube of 151.
We know that the cube of a number is x³ = y, where x is the given number, and y is the cubed value of that number. So, we get 151³ = 3,444,151.
Next, we must find the cube root of 151. We know that the cube root of a number ‘x’, such that ∛x = y, where ‘x’ is the given number, and y is the cube root value of the number.
So, we get ∛151 ≈ 5.313. Hence the cube of 151 is 3,444,151 and the cube root of 151 is approximately 5.313.
If the side length of the cube is 151 cm, what is the volume?
The volume is 3,444,151 cm³.
Use the volume formula for a cube V = Side³. Substitute 151 for the side length: V = 151³ = 3,444,151 cm³.
How much larger is 151³ than 101³?
151³ – 101³ = 2,898,050.
First find the cube of 151³, that is 3,444,151.
Next, find the cube of 101³, which is 546,101.
Now, find the difference between them using the subtraction method.
3,444,151 – 546,101 = 2,898,050.
Therefore, 151³ is 2,898,050 larger than 101³.
If a cube with a side length of 151 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 151 cm is 3,444,151 cm³.
To find its volume, we multiply the side length by itself three times (since it’s a 3-dimensional object).
Cubing 151 means multiplying 151 by itself three times: 151 × 151 = 22,801, and then 22,801 × 151 = 3,444,151.
The unit of volume is cubic centimeters (cm³), because we are calculating the space inside the cube.
Therefore, the volume of the cube is 3,444,151 cm³.
Estimate the cube of 150.1 using the cube of 151.
The cube of 150.1 is approximately 3,444,151.
First, identify the cube of 151.
The cube of 151 is 151³ = 3,444,151.
Since 150.1 is only a tiny bit less than 151, the cube of 150.1 will be almost the same as the cube of 151.
The cube of 150.1 is approximately 3,444,151 because the difference between 150.1 and 151 is very small.
So, we can approximate the value as 3,444,151.
