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 558.
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 by itself three times results in a negative number.
The cube of 558 can be written as 558³, which is the exponential form.
Or it can also be written in arithmetic form as, 558 × 558 × 558.
In order to check whether a number is a cube number or not, we can use the following three methods, such as multiplication method, a factor formula (a³), or by using a calculator. These three methods will help individuals 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. 558³ = 558 × 558 × 558
Step 2: You get 173,733,352 as the answer. Hence, the cube of 558 is 173,733,352.
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 558 into two parts, as 500 and 58. Let a = 500 and b = 58, so a + b = 558
Step 2: Now, apply the formula (a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³
Step 3: Calculate each term a³ = 500³ 3a²b = 3 × 500² × 58 3ab² = 3 × 500 × 58² b³ = 58³
Step 4: Add all the terms together: (a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³ (500 + 58)³ = 500³ + 3 × 500² × 58 + 3 × 500 × 58² + 58³ 558³ = 125,000,000 + 43,500,000 + 5,044,000 + 195,112 558³ = 173,733,352
Step 5: Hence, the cube of 558 is 173,733,352.
To find the cube of 558 using a calculator, input the number 558 and use the cube function (if available) or multiply 558 × 558 × 558. This operation calculates the value of 558³, resulting in 173,733,352. It’s a quick way to determine the cube without manual computation.
Step 1: Ensure the calculator is functioning properly.
Step 2: Input 558
Step 3: If the calculator has a cube function, press it to calculate 558³.
Step 4: If there is no cube function on the calculator, simply multiply 558 three times manually.
Step 5: The calculator will display 173,733,352.
There are some typical errors that might be made during the process of cubing a number. Let us take a look at five of the major mistakes that might occur:
What is the cube and cube root of 558?
The cube of 558 is 173,733,352 and the cube root of 558 is approximately 8.186.
First, let’s find the cube of 558.
We know that the cube of a number is expressed as x³ = y
Where x is the given number, and y is the cubed value of that number
So, we get 558³ = 173,733,352 Next, we must find the cube root of 558
We know that the cube root of a number x is expressed as ³√x = y
Where x is the given number, and y is the cube root value of the number
So, we get ³√558 ≈ 8.186
Hence the cube of 558 is 173,733,352 and the cube root of 558 is approximately 8.186.
If the side length of the cube is 558 cm, what is the volume?
The volume is 173,733,352 cm³.
Use the volume formula for a cube V = Side³.
Substitute 558 for the side length: V = 558³ = 173,733,352 cm³.
How much larger is 558³ than 500³?
558³ – 500³ = 48,733,352.
First find the cube of 558³, which is 173,733,352
Next, find the cube of 500³, which is 125,000,000
Now, find the difference between them using the subtraction method. 173,733,352 – 125,000,000 = 48,733,352
Therefore, 558³ is 48,733,352 larger than 500³.
If a cube with a side length of 558 cm is compared to a cube with a side length of 100 cm, how much larger is the volume of the larger cube?
The volume of the cube with a side length of 558 cm is 173,733,352 cm³.
To find its volume, we multiply the side length by itself three times (since it’s a 3-dimensional object).
Cubing 558 means multiplying 558 by itself three times: 558 × 558 = 311,364, and then 311,364 × 558 = 173,733,352.
The unit of volume is cubic centimeters (cm³), because we are calculating the space inside the cube.
Therefore, the volume of the cube is 173,733,352 cm³.
Estimate the cube 557 using the cube 558.
The cube of 557 is approximately 173,733,352.
First, identify the cube of 558,
The cube of 558 is 558³ = 173,733,352.
Since 557 is only a tiny bit less than 558, the cube of 557 will be almost the same as the cube of 558.
The cube of 557 is approximately 173,733,352 because the difference between 557 and 558 is very small.
So, we can approximate the value as 173,733,352.
