Cube Root of 10

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

The cube root of 10 is the value that, when multiplied by itself three times (cubed), gives the original number 10. Do you know? Cube roots apply to our real life also, like that for measuring dimensions, density and mass, field of engineering etc.

What Is the Cube Root of 10?

The cube root of 10 is 2.15443469003. The cube root of 10 is expressed as ∛10 in radical form, where the “ ∛ “  sign is called the “radical” sign. In exponential form, it is written as (10)1/3. If “m” is the cube root of 10, then, m3=10. Let us find the value of “m”.

Finding the Cube Root of 10

The cube root of 10 is expressed as ∛10 as its simplest radical form. We can find cube root of 10 through a method, named as, Halley’s Method. Let us see how it finds the result.

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Cube Root of 10 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 10.


Step 1: Let a=10. Let us take x as 2, since, 23=8 is the nearest perfect cube which is less than 10.


Step 2: Apply the formula.  ∛10≅ 2((23+2×10) / (2(2)3+10))=2.15


Hence, 2.15 is the approximate cubic root of 10.

Cube Root of 10 Examples

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

Problem 1

The length, breadth, and height of a cuboid is 2 units, 2.5 units, and 2.8 units respectively. To find its volume, also find the measure of a side of a cube whose volume is 10 cubic units.

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

Volume of a cuboid = length × breadth × height = 2 × 2.5 × 2.8 cubic units = 14 cubic units.


Given, Volume of a cube = 10 cubic units


⇒ side × side × side = 10 cubic units


⇒ side =  ∛10


⇒ side =  2.154 units


Answer: Volume of the cuboid = 14 cubic units


Side length of the cube = 2.154 units
 

Explanation

 Applied the formula and concept of the volume of a cuboid and cube and solved.

Problem 2

If y = ∛10, find y³/ y⁶

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

 y=∛10


⇒ y3/y6= (∛10)3 / (∛10)6


⇒ y3/y6= 10/ (10)2= 1/10


Answer: 1/10
 

Explanation

(∛10)3=(101/3)3=10, and (∛10)6=(101/3)6=(10)2.

Using this, we found the value of y3/y6.

Problem 3

Multiply ∛10 × ∛27 × ∛64

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

 ∛10×∛27× ∛64

 

= 2.154×3×4

 

= 25.848. 


Answer: 25.848
 

Explanation

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

Problem 4

What is ∛(10⁶) ?

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

 ∛(106)

 

= ((10)6))1/3

 

=(10)2

 

= 100


Answer: 100
 

Explanation

We solved and simplified the exponent part first using the fact that, ∛10=(10), then solved.

Problem 5

Find ∛10 / 21.54.

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

(∛10) / 21.54

 

= 2.154 /21.54

 

=0.1


Answer: 0.1
 

Explanation

Simplified the expression, and found out the result.
