When a number is multiplied by itself thrice, the resultant number is called the cube of a number. Cubing is used when comparing sizes of objects or things with cubic measurements. In this topic, we shall learn about the cube of 475.
A cube number is a value obtained by raising a number to the power of 3, or by multiplying the number by itself three times. When you cube a positive number, the result is always positive. When you cube a negative number, the result is always negative. This is because a negative number multiplied by itself three times results in a negative number.
The cube of 475 can be written as 475³, which is the exponential form. Or it can also be written in arithmetic form as 475 × 475 × 475.
To determine whether a number is a cube number or not, we can use the following three methods: the multiplication method, a factor formula (a³), or by using a calculator. These three methods will help to cube numbers faster and easier without feeling confused or stuck while evaluating the answers. -
The multiplication method is a mathematical process used to find the product of two numbers or quantities by combining them through repeated addition. It is a fundamental operation that forms the basis for more complex mathematical concepts.
Step 1: Write down the cube of the given number. 475³ = 475 × 475 × 475
Step 2: You get 107,171,875 as the answer. Hence, the cube of 475 is 107,171,875.
The formula (a + b)³ is a binomial formula for finding the cube of a number. The formula is expanded as a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³.
Step 1: Split the number 475 into two parts, such as a and b. Let a = 470 and b = 5, so a + b = 475
Step 2: Now, apply the formula (a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³
Step 3: Calculate each term a³ = 470³ 3a²b = 3 × 470² × 5 3ab² = 3 × 470 × 5² b³ = 5³
Step 4: Add all the terms together:
(a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³
(470 + 5)³ = 470³ + 3 × 470² × 5 + 3 × 470 × 5² + 5³
475³ = 103823000 + 3315000 + 35250 + 125
475³ = 107171875
Step 5: Hence, the cube of 475 is 107,171,875.
To find the cube of 475 using a calculator, input the number 475 and use the cube function (if available) or multiply 475 × 475 × 475. This operation calculates the value of 475³, resulting in 107,171,875. It’s a quick way to determine the cube without manual computation.
Step 1: Ensure the calculator is functioning properly.
Step 2: Press 4 followed by 7 and 5.
Step 3: If the calculator has a cube function, press it to calculate 475³.
Step 4: If there is no cube function on the calculator, simply multiply 475 three times manually.
Step 5: The calculator will display 107,171,875.
There are some typical errors that kids might make during the process of cubing a number. Let us take a look at five of the major mistakes that kids might make:
What is the cube and cube root of 475?
The cube of 475 is 107,171,875 and the cube root of 475 is approximately 7.77.
First, let’s find the cube of 475.
We know that the cube of a number, such that x³ = y Where x is the given number, and y is the cubed value of that number
So, we get 475³ = 107,171,875
Next, we must find the cube root of 475 We know that the cube root of a number ‘x’, such that ∛x = y Where ‘x’ is the given number, and y is the cube root value of the number
So, we get ∛475 ≈ 7.77
Hence, the cube of 475 is 107,171,875 and the cube root of 475 is approximately 7.77.
If the side length of the cube is 475 cm, what is the volume?
The volume is 107,171,875 cm³.
Use the volume formula for a cube V = Side³.
Substitute 475 for the side length: V = 475³ = 107,171,875 cm³.
How much larger is 475³ than 470³?
475³ – 470³ = 3,348,875.
First, find the cube of 475, which is 107,171,875.
Next, find the cube of 470, which is 103,823,000.
Now, find the difference between them using the subtraction method.
107,171,875 – 103,823,000 = 3,348,875
Therefore, 475³ is 3,348,875 larger than 470³.
If a cube with a side length of 475 cm is compared to a cube with a side length of 5 cm, how much larger is the volume of the larger cube?
The volume of the cube with a side length of 475 cm is 107,171,875 cm³.
To find its volume, multiply the side length by itself three times (since it’s a 3-dimensional object).
Cubing 475 means multiplying 475 by itself three times:
475 × 475 = 225,625, and then 225,625 × 475 = 107,171,875.
The unit of volume is cubic centimeters (cm³), because we are calculating the space inside the cube.
Therefore, the volume of the cube is 107,171,875 cm³.
Estimate the cube of 474.9 using the cube of 475.
The cube of 474.9 is approximately 107,171,875.
First, identify the cube of 475, The cube of 475 is 475³ = 107,171,875.
Since 474.9 is only a tiny bit less than 475, the cube of 474.9 will be almost the same as the cube of 475.
The cube of 474.9 is approximately 107,171,875 because the difference between 474.9 and 475 is very small.
So, we can approximate the value as 107,171,875.
