Cube Root of 18

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

We will learn the cube root concept to use it on other mathematical topics like algebra, mensuration, geometry, trigonometry, etc. So, it is as important as learning square roots. Let us now see how we can obtain the cube root value of 18, and its examples.

What Is the Cube Root of 18?

The cube root of 18 is the value which, when multiplied by itself three times (cubed), gives the original number 18. The cube root of 18 is 2.62074139421.  The cube root of 18 is expressed as ∛18 in radical form, where the “ ∛ ”  sign” is called the “radical” sign. In exponential form, it is written as (18). If “m” is the cube root of 18, then, m3=18. Let us find the value of “m”.

Finding the Cube Root of 18

We can find cube root of 18 through a method, named as, Halley’s Method. Let us see how it finds the result

Cubic Root of 18 By Halley’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 ∛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 18.


Step 1: Let a=18. Let us take x as 2, since 23=8 is the nearest perfect cube which is less than 18.


Step 2: Apply the formula.  ∛18≅ 2((23+2×18) / (2(2)3+18))= 2.59…


Hence, 2.59… is the approximate cubic root of 18.

Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them in the Cube Root of 18

Understanding common misconceptions or mistakes can make your calculations error free. So let us see how to avoid those from happening.
 

Mistake 1

Red Cross Icon Indicating Mistakes to Avoid in This Math Topic

 For ∛18, students can make error in the important part of prime factorization.
 

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

Applying exponent rules incorrectly when finding cube roots.
 

Green Checkmark Icon Indicating Correct Solutions in This Math Topic

∛18 is not same as 183.  ∛18 = 2.59… and 183=5832.
 

Mistake 3

Red Cross Icon Indicating Mistakes to Avoid in This Math Topic

For large non-perfect cubes, students frequently 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 typically 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 ∛(18)3, students might do as ∛(18×3)
 

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. ∛(18)3≠∛(18×3). ∛(18)3= 18

Problem 4

Multiply ∛18 × ∛27 × ∛64

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"
Okay, lets begin

∛18×∛27× ∛64

 

= 2.620×3×4

 

= 31.44 


Answer: 31.44
 

Explanation

We know that the cubic root of 27 is 3 and that of 64 is 4, hence multiplying.
