When a number is multiplied by itself three times, 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 the cube of 971.
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 971 can be written as 971³, which is the exponential form. Or it can also be written in arithmetic form as 971 × 971 × 971.
To check whether a number is a cube number or not, we can use the following three methods: the multiplication method, a factor formula (a³), or by using a calculator. These three methods will help in cubing numbers faster and easier without confusion or getting stuck while evaluating the answers. By Multiplication Method Using a Formula Using a Calculator
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. 971³ = 971 × 971 × 971 Step 2: You get 915,354,811 as the answer. Hence, the cube of 971 is 915,354,811.
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 971 into two parts, as 900 and 71. Let a = 900 and b = 71, so a + b = 971 Step 2: Now, apply the formula (a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³ Step 3: Calculate each term a³ = 900³ 3a²b = 3 × 900² × 71 3ab² = 3 × 900 × 71² b³ = 71³ Step 4: Add all the terms together: (a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³ (900 + 71)³ = 900³ + 3 × 900² × 71 + 3 × 900 × 71² + 71³ 971³ = 729,000,000 + 172,350,000 + 136,890 + 357,911 971³ = 915,354,811 Step 5: Hence, the cube of 971 is 915,354,811.
To find the cube of 971 using a calculator, input the number 971 and use the cube function (if available) or multiply 971 × 971 × 971. This operation calculates the value of 971³, resulting in 915,354,811. It’s a quick way to determine the cube without manual computation. Step 1: Ensure the calculator is functioning properly. Step 2: Press 9, 7, and 1 Step 3: If the calculator has a cube function, press it to calculate 971³. Step 4: If there is no cube function on the calculator, simply multiply 971 three times manually. Step 5: The calculator will display 915,354,811.
The cube of any even number is always even, while the cube of any odd number is always odd. The product of two or more perfect cube numbers is always a perfect cube. A perfect cube can always be expressed as the product of three identical groups of equal prime factors.
There are some typical errors that might occur during the process of cubing a number. Let us take a look at five of the major mistakes that might happen:
What is the cube and cube root of 971?
The cube of 971 is 915,354,811 and the cube root of 971 is approximately 9.918.
First, let’s find the cube of 971. 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 971³ = 915,354,811. Next, we must find the cube root of 971. 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 ∛971 ≈ 9.918. Hence, the cube of 971 is 915,354,811 and the cube root of 971 is approximately 9.918.
If the side length of the cube is 971 cm, what is the volume?
The volume is 915,354,811 cm³.
Use the volume formula for a cube V = Side³. Substitute 971 for the side length: V = 971³ = 915,354,811 cm³.
How much larger is 971³ than 870³?
971³ – 870³ = 224,074,791.
First, find the cube of 971, which is 915,354,811. Next, find the cube of 870, which is 691,280,020. Now, find the difference between them using the subtraction method. 915,354,811 – 691,280,020 = 224,074,791. Therefore, 971³ is 224,074,791 larger than 870³.
If a cube with a side length of 971 cm is compared to a cube with a side length of 71 cm, how much larger is the volume of the larger cube?
The volume of the cube with a side length of 971 cm is 915,354,811 cm³.
To find its volume, multiply the side length by itself three times (since it’s a 3-dimensional object). Cubing 971 means multiplying 971 by itself three times: 971 × 971 = 943,441, and then 943,441 × 971 = 915,354,811. The unit of volume is cubic centimeters (cm³), because we are calculating the space inside the cube. Therefore, the volume of the cube is 915,354,811 cm³.
Estimate the cube of 970.1 using the cube of 971.
The cube of 970.1 is approximately 915,354,811.
First, identify the cube of 971, The cube of 971 is 971³ = 915,354,811. Since 970.1 is only a tiny bit less than 971, the cube of 970.1 will be almost the same as the cube of 971. The cube of 970.1 is approximately 915,354,811 because the difference between 970.1 and 971 is very small. So, we can approximate the value as 915,354,811.
Binomial Formula: An algebraic expression used to expand the powers of a number, written as (a + b)ⁿ, where ‘n’ is a positive integer raised to the base. The formula is used to find the square and cube of a number. Cube of a Number: Multiplying a number by itself three times is called the cube of a number. Exponential Form: A way of expressing numbers using a base and an exponent (or power), where the exponent value indicates how many times the base is multiplied by itself. For example, 2³ represents 2 × 2 × 2 equals 8. Perfect Cube: A number that can be expressed as the cube of an integer. Cube Root: The number that, when multiplied by itself three times, gives the original number. For example, the cube root of 8 is 2.
