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 3.5.
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 multiplying a negative number by itself three times results in a negative number.
The cube of 3.5 can be written as 3.5³, which is the exponential form. Or it can also be written in arithmetic form as 3.5 × 3.5 × 3.5.
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 kids 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. 3.5³ = 3.5 × 3.5 × 3.5
Step 2: You get 42.875 as the answer. Hence, the cube of 3.5 is 42.875.
There is no simple binomial formula for a single number, but understanding the multiplication of numbers can help find the cube.
Step 1: Calculate 3.5³ directly by multiplication.
Step 2: Multiply 3.5 by itself twice more:
3.5 × 3.5 = 12.25
12.25 × 3.5 = 42.875
Step 3: Hence, the cube of 3.5 is 42.875.
To find the cube of 3.5 using a calculator, input the number 3.5 and use the cube function (if available) or multiply 3.5 × 3.5 × 3.5. This operation calculates the value of 3.5³, resulting in 42.875. It’s a quick way to determine the cube without manual computation.
Step 1: Ensure the calculator is functioning properly.
Step 2: Press 3 followed by . and 5
Step 3: If the calculator has a cube function, press it to calculate 3.5³.
Step 4: If there is no cube function on the calculator, simply multiply 3.5 three times manually.
Step 5: The calculator will display 42.875.
