When a number is multiplied by itself thrice, the resultant number is called the cube of a number. Cubing is used while comparing sizes of objects or things with cubic measurements. In this topic, we shall learn about the cube of 1002.
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 1002 can be written as 1002³, which is the exponential form. Or it can also be written in arithmetic form as, 1002 × 1002 × 1002.
In order to check whether a number is a cube number or not, we can use the following three methods: multiplication method, a factor formula (a³), or by using a calculator. These three methods will help students to cube the numbers faster and easier without feeling confused or stuck while evaluating the answers.
The multiplication method is a process in mathematics 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. 1002³ = 1002 × 1002 × 1002
Step 2: You get 1,008,024,008 as the answer. Hence, the cube of 1002 is 1,008,024,008.
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 1002 into two parts, as 1000 and 2. Let a = 1000 and b = 2, so a + b = 1002
Step 2: Now, apply the formula (a+b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³
Step 3: Calculate each term
a³ = 1000³
3a²b = 3 × 1000² × 2
3ab² = 3 × 1000 × 2²
b³ = 2³
Step 4: Add all the terms together:
(a+b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³
(1000+2)³ = 1000³ + 3 × 1000² × 2 + 3 × 1000 × 2² + 2³
1002³ = 1,000,000,000 + 6,000,000 + 12,000 + 8
1002³ = 1,008,024,008
Step 5: Hence, the cube of 1002 is 1,008,024,008.
To find the cube of 1002 using a calculator, input the number 1002 and use the cube function (if available) or multiply 1002 × 1002 × 1002. This operation calculates the value of 1002³, resulting in 1,008,024,008. It’s a quick way to determine the cube without manual computation.
Step 1: Ensure the calculator is functioning properly.
Step 2: Press 1 followed by 0, 0, and 2.
Step 3: If the calculator has a cube function, press it to calculate 1002³.
Step 4: If there is no cube function on the calculator, simply multiply 1002 three times manually.
Step 5: The calculator will display 1,008,024,008.
There are some typical errors that students might make during the process of cubing a number. Let us take a look at five of the major mistakes that students might make:
What is the cube and cube root of 1002?
The cube of 1002 is 1,008,024,008 and the cube root of 1002 is approximately 10.005.
First, let’s find the cube of 1002.
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 1002³ = 1,008,024,008
Next, we must find the cube root of 1002 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 ∛1002 ≈ 10.005
Hence, the cube of 1002 is 1,008,024,008 and the cube root of 1002 is approximately 10.005.
If the side length of the cube is 1002 cm, what is the volume?
The volume is 1,008,024,008 cm³.
Use the volume formula for a cube V = Side³.
Substitute 1002 for the side length: V = 1002³ = 1,008,024,008 cm³.
How much larger is 1002³ than 1001³?
1002³ – 1001³ = 3,006,006.
First, find the cube of 1002, that is 1,008,024,008
Next, find the cube of 1001, which is 1,005,018,002
Now, find the difference between them using the subtraction method. 1,008,024,008 – 1,005,018,002 = 3,006,006
Therefore, 1002³ is 3,006,006 larger than 1001³.
If a cube with a side length of 1002 cm is compared to a cube with a side length of 10 cm, how much larger is the volume of the larger cube?
The volume of the cube with a side length of 1002 cm is 1,008,024,008 cm³.
To find its volume, we multiply the side length by itself three times (since it’s a 3-dimensional object).
Cubing 1002 means multiplying 1002 by itself three times: 1002 × 1002 = 1,004,004, and then 1,004,004 × 1002 = 1,008,024,008.
The unit of volume is cubic centimeters (cm³), because we are calculating the space inside the cube.
Therefore, the volume of the cube is 1,008,024,008 cm³.
Estimate the cube of 1001.9 using the cube of 1002.
The cube of 1001.9 is approximately 1,008,024,008.
First, identify the cube of 1002, The cube of 1002 is 1002³ = 1,008,024,008.
Since 1001.9 is only a tiny bit less than 1002, the cube of 1001.9 will be almost the same as the cube of 1002.
The cube of 1001.9 is approximately 1,008,024,008 because the difference between 1001.9 and 1002 is very small.
So, we can approximate the value as 1,008,024,008.
