A number that, when multiplied by itself three times, gives the original number is known as its cube root. This concept has various applications in real life, such as determining the dimensions of cube-shaped objects and in architectural design. We will now find the cube root of 2744000 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, ∛2744000 is written as 2744000(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 2744000, then y³ can be 2744000. Since 2744000 is a perfect cube, we can find its cube root exactly, which is 140.
Finding the cube root of a number involves identifying the number that, when multiplied three times, results in the target number. Now, we will go through the different ways to find the cube root of 2744000. The common methods we follow to find the cube root are given below:
To find the cube root of a perfect cube like 2744000, we can use the prime factorization method.
Let's find the cube root of 2744000 using the prime factorization method.
First, we factor 2744000 into its prime factors: 2744000 = 26 × 53 × 73
Now, for every prime factor, divide the exponent by 3: (26)(1/3) = 22 = 4 (53)(1/3) = 5 (73)(1/3) = 7
Multiply these results together: 4 × 5 × 7 = 140
Therefore, the cube root of 2744000 is 140.
Finding the cube root of a number without any errors can be a challenging task. Here are a few mistakes commonly made and ways to avoid them:
Imagine you have a cube-shaped toy that has a total volume of 2744000 cubic centimeters. Find the length of one side of the toy which is equal to its cube root.
Side of the cube = ∛2744000 = 140 units
To find the side of the cube, we need to find the cube root of the given volume. Therefore, the side length of the cube is 140 units.
A company manufactures 2744000 cubic meters of material. Calculate the amount of material left after using 1000000 cubic meters.
The amount of material left is 1744000 cubic meters.
To find the remaining material, subtract the used material from the total amount: 2744000 - 1000000 = 1744000 cubic meters.
A container holds 2744000 cubic meters of volume. Another container holds a volume of 1000000 cubic meters. What would be the total volume if the containers are combined?
The total volume of the combined containers is 3744000 cubic meters.
Explanation: Add the volume of both containers: 2744000 + 1000000 = 3744000 cubic meters.
When the cube root of 2744000 is multiplied by 2, calculate the resultant value. How will this affect the cube of the new value?
2 × 140 = 280 The cube of 280 = 21952000
When we multiply the cube root of 2744000 by 2, it results in a significant increase in the volume because the cube of the new value increases exponentially.
Find ∛(5000000 + 2744000).
∛(5000000 + 2744000) ≈ ∛7744000 ≈ 198.42
As shown in the question ∛(5000000 + 2744000), we can simplify that by adding them. So, 5000000 + 2744000 = 7744000. Then we use this step: ∛7744000 ≈ 198.42 to get the answer.
