Cube Root of 100

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

The cube root of 100 is the value that, when multiplied by itself three times (cubed), gives the original number 100. Do you know? Cube roots apply to our real life also, like that for measuring dimensions, creating digital art, field of engineering, making financial decisions etc.

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

What Is the Cube Root of 100?

The cube root of 100 is 4.64158883361. The cube root of 100 is expressed as โˆ›100 in radical form, where the “ โˆ› ”  sign  is called the “radical” sign. In exponential form, it is written as (100)โ…“. If “m” is the cube root of 100, then, m3=100. Let us find the value of “m”.

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Finding the Cube Root of 100

The cube root of 100 is expressed as โˆ›100 as its simplest radical form,

 

since 100 = 2×2×5×5


โˆ›100 = โˆ›(2×2×5×5)


Group together three same factors at a time and put the remaining factor under the โˆ› .


โˆ›100= โˆ›100 


 We can find cube root of 100 through a method, named as, Halley’s Method. Let us see how it finds the result.
 

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Cube Root of 100 By Halleyโ€™s Method

Now, what is Halley’s Method? It is an iterative method for finding cube roots of a given number N, such that, x3=N,

where this method approximates the value of “x”.


Formula is โˆ›a≅ x((x3+2a) / (2x3+a)), where

 
a=given number whose cube root you are going to find


x=integer guess for the cubic root


 Let us apply Halley’s method on the given number 100.


Step 1: Let a=100. Let us take x as 4, since, 43=64 is the nearest perfect cube which is less than 100.


Step 2: Apply the formula.  โˆ›100≅ 4((43+2×100) / (2(4)3+100))= 4.63…


Hence, 4.63… is the approximate cubic root of 100.

Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them in the Cube Root of 100

Here are some common mistakes with their solutions given :

 

Mistake 1

Red Cross Icon Indicating Mistakes to Avoid in This Math Topic

Students might make errors during factorization. For โˆ›100, students can make error in the crucial part and may write as โˆ›100=5

Green Checkmark Icon Indicating Correct Solutions in This Math Topic

Prime Factorization is a crucial part in determining cube roots and square roots. So, use the exact prime factors and group (or pair)

Mistake 2

Red Cross Icon Indicating Mistakes to Avoid in This Math Topic

Students forget the concept of cube roots often, by not understanding the definition.

Green Checkmark Icon Indicating Correct Solutions in This Math Topic

This happens because of an uncleared understanding of cube roots and the methods to find them. 
 

Mistake 3

Red Cross Icon Indicating Mistakes to Avoid in This Math Topic

For large non-perfect cubes, students often estimate wrongly and leave it with a wrong result. 

Green Checkmark Icon Indicating Correct Solutions in This Math Topic

Keep the methods of finding cube roots in front whenever attempting large non-perfect cubes.

Mistake 4

Red Cross Icon Indicating Mistakes to Avoid in This Math Topic

Students often rely on memorizing rather than understanding concepts of cube root.

Green Checkmark Icon Indicating Correct Solutions in This Math Topic

Memorizing is not the solution when it comes to complex problems. So understanding the methods of finding cube roots is advisable.
 

Mistake 5

Red Cross Icon Indicating Mistakes to Avoid in This Math Topic

Misapply the cube root property like when asked to solve โˆ›(100)3, students might do as โˆ›(100×3).

Green Checkmark Icon Indicating Correct Solutions in This Math Topic

Clear the concepts again and again if they don’t understand where to do what. โˆ›(100)3≠โˆ›(100×3). 
โˆ›(100)3= 100

Cube Root of 100 Examples

Ray, the Character from BrightChamps Explaining Math Concepts
Max, the Girl Character from BrightChamps

Problem 1

Find (โˆ›200/ โˆ›100) ร— (โˆ›200/ โˆ›100) ร— (โˆ›200/ โˆ›100)

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Letโ€™s Begin"
Okay, lets begin

(โˆ›200/ โˆ›100) × (โˆ›200/ โˆ›100) × (โˆ›200/ โˆ›100)


= (โˆ›200× โˆ›200× โˆ›200) / (โˆ›100× โˆ›100× โˆ›100)


=((200)โ…“)3/ ((100)โ…“)3


=200/100

 

=2


Answer: 2
 

Explanation

We solved and simplified the exponent part first using the fact that, โˆ›200=(100)โ…“ and โˆ›100=(100)โ…“, then solved.

Problem 2

If y = โˆ›100, find yยณ/ yโถ

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Letโ€™s Begin"
Okay, lets begin

y=โˆ›100


⇒ y3/y6= (โˆ›100)3 / (โˆ›100)6


⇒ y3/y6

 

= 100/ (100)2

 

= 1/100


Answer: 1/100
 

Explanation

 (โˆ›100)3=(1001/3)3=100, and โˆ›100)6=(1001/3)6=(16)2. Using this, we found the value of y3/y6.

Problem 3

Multiply โˆ›100 ร— โˆ›125

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Letโ€™s Begin"
Okay, lets begin

 โˆ›100×โˆ›125

 

= 4.641×5

 

=23.205


Answer:  23.205
 

Explanation

 We know that the cubic root of 125 is 5, hence multiplying  โˆ›125 with โˆ›100.
