A number we multiply by itself three times to get the original number is its cube root. It has various applications in real life, such as finding the volume of cube-shaped objects and designing structures. We will now find the cube root of 911 and explain the methods used.
We have learned the definition of the cube root. Now, let’s learn how it is represented using a symbol and exponent. The symbol we use to express the cube root is the radical sign (∛), and the exponent we use is ⅓. In exponential form, ∛911 is written as 911(1/3). The cube root is just the opposite operation of finding the cube of a number. For example: Assume ‘y’ as the cube root of 911, then y³ can be 911. Since the cube root of 911 is not an exact value, we can write it as approximately 9.6761.
Finding the cube root of a number is to identify the number that must be multiplied three times resulting in the target number. Now, we will go through the different ways to find the cube root of 911. The common methods we follow to find the cube root are given below: -
To find the cube root of a non-perfect number, we often follow Halley’s method. Since 911 is not a perfect cube, we use Halley’s method.
Let's find the cube root of 911 using Halley’s method.
The formula is ∛a ≅ x((x³ + 2a) / (2x³ + a))
where: a = the number for which the cube root is being calculated
x = the nearest perfect cube
Substituting, a = 911; x = 9
∛a ≅ 9((9³ + 2 × 911) / (2 × 9³ + 911))
∛911 ≅ 9((729 + 1822) / (1458 + 911))
∛911 ≅ 9.676
The cube root of 911 is approximately 9.6761
Imagine you have a cube-shaped container that has a total volume of 911 cubic centimeters. Find the length of one side of the cube equal to its cube root.
A factory produces 911 cubic meters of material. Calculate the amount of material left after using 400 cubic meters.
A tank holds 911 cubic meters of water. Another tank holds a volume of 50 cubic meters. What would be the total volume if the tanks are combined?
When the cube root of 911 is multiplied by 2, calculate the resultant value. How will this affect the cube of the new value?
