When a number is multiplied by itself thrice, the resultant number is called the cube of a number. Cubing is used when comparing the sizes of objects or things with cubic measurements. In this topic, we shall learn about the cube of 389.
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 389 can be written as 389^3, which is the exponential form.
Or it can also be written in arithmetic form as 389 × 389 × 389.
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 (a^3), 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. 389^3 = 389 × 389 × 389
Step 2: You get 58,847,869 as the answer. Hence, the cube of 389 is 58,847,869.
The formula (a + b)^3 is a binomial formula for finding the cube of a number. The formula is expanded as a^3 + 3a^2b + 3ab^2 + b^3.
Step 1: Split the number 389 into two parts, as 300 and 89. Let a = 300 and b = 89, so a + b = 389
Step 2: Now, apply the formula (a + b)^3 = a^3 + 3a^2b + 3ab^2 + b^3
Step 3: Calculate each term a^3 = 300^3 3a^2b = 3 × 300^2 × 89 3ab^2 = 3 × 300 × 89^2 b^3 = 89^3
Step 4: Add all the terms together: (a + b)^3 = a^3 + 3a^2b + 3ab^2 + b^3 (300 + 89)^3 = 300^3 + 3 × 300^2 × 89 + 3 × 300 × 89^2 + 89^3 389^3 = 27,000,000 + 24,030,000 + 7,123,800 + 704,069 389^3 = 58,847,869
Step 5: Hence, the cube of 389 is 58,847,869.
To find the cube of 389 using a calculator, input the number 389 and use the cube function (if available) or multiply 389 × 389 × 389. This operation calculates the value of 389^3, resulting in 58,847,869. It’s a quick way to determine the cube without manual computation.
Step 1: Ensure the calculator is functioning properly.
Step 2: Press 3 followed by 8 and 9
Step 3: If the calculator has a cube function, press it to calculate 389^3.
Step 4: If there is no cube function on the calculator, simply multiply 389 three times manually.
Step 5: The calculator will display 58,847,869.
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 389?
The cube of 389 is 58,847,869 and the cube root of 389 is approximately 7.297.
First, let’s find the cube of 389.
We know that the cube of a number, such that x^3 = y
Where x is the given number, and y is the cubed value of that number
So, we get 389^3 = 58,847,869 Next, we must find the cube root of 389
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 ∛389 ≈ 7.297
Hence the cube of 389 is 58,847,869 and the cube root of 389 is approximately 7.297.
If the side length of the cube is 389 cm, what is the volume?
The volume is 58,847,869 cm^3.
Use the volume formula for a cube V = Side^3.
Substitute 389 for the side length: V = 389^3 = 58,847,869 cm^3.
How much larger is 389^3 than 300^3?
389^3 – 300^3 = 31,847,869.
First, find the cube of 389, which is 58,847,869.
Next, find the cube of 300, which is 27,000,000.
Now, find the difference between them using the subtraction method. 58,847,869 – 27,000,000 = 31,847,869
Therefore, 389^3 is 31,847,869 larger than 300^3.
If a cube with a side length of 389 cm is compared to a cube with a side length of 100 cm, how much larger is the volume of the larger cube?
The volume of the cube with a side length of 389 cm is 58,847,869 cm^3.
To find its volume, we multiply the side length by itself three times (since it’s a 3-dimensional object).
Cubing 389 means multiplying 389 by itself three times: 389 × 389 = 151,321, and then 151,321 × 389 = 58,847,869.
The unit of volume is cubic centimeters (cm^3), because we are calculating the space inside the cube.
Therefore, the volume of the cube is 58,847,869 cm^3.
Estimate the cube of 390 using the cube of 389.
The cube of 390 is approximately 58,847,869.
First, identify the cube of 389,
The cube of 389 is 389^3 = 58,847,869.
Since 390 is only a tiny bit more than 389, the cube of 390 will be almost the same as the cube of 389.
The cube of 390 is approximately 58,847,869 because the difference between 389 and 390 is very small.
So, we can approximate the value as 58,847,869.
