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 938.
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 938 can be written as \(938^3\), which is the exponential form. Or it can also be written in arithmetic form as, \(938 \times 938 \times 938\).
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 (\(a^3\)), or by using a calculator. These three methods will help kids to cube numbers faster and easier without feeling confused or stuck while evaluating the answers. - By Multiplication Method - Using a Formula - Using a Calculator
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. \(938^3 = 938 \times 938 \times 938\) Step 2: You get 826,594,872 as the answer. Hence, the cube of 938 is 826,594,872.
The formula \((a + b)^3\) is a binomial formula for finding the cube of a number. The formula is expanded as \(a^3 + 3a^2b + 3ab^2 + b^3\). Step 1: Split the number 938 into two parts. Let \(a = 900\) and \(b = 38\), so \(a + b = 938\) Step 2: Now, apply the formula \((a + b)^3 = a^3 + 3a^2b + 3ab^2 + b^3\) Step 3: Calculate each term \(a^3 = 900^3\) \(3a^2b = 3 \times 900^2 \times 38\) \(3ab^2 = 3 \times 900 \times 38^2\) \(b^3 = 38^3\) Step 4: Add all the terms together: \((a + b)^3 = a^3 + 3a^2b + 3ab^2 + b^3\) \((900 + 38)^3 = 900^3 + 3 \times 900^2 \times 38 + 3 \times 900 \times 38^2 + 38^3\) \(938^3 = 729,000,000 + 92,340,000 + 3,888,600 + 54,872\) \(938^3 = 826,594,872\) Step 5: Hence, the cube of 938 is 826,594,872.
To find the cube of 938 using a calculator, input the number 938 and use the cube function (if available) or multiply \(938 \times 938 \times 938\). This operation calculates the value of \(938^3\), resulting in 826,594,872. It’s a quick way to determine the cube without manual computation. Step 1: Ensure the calculator is functioning properly. Step 2: Press 9 followed by 3 and 8 Step 3: If the calculator has a cube function, press it to calculate \(938^3\). Step 4: If there is no cube function on the calculator, simply multiply 938 three times manually. Step 5: The calculator will display 826,594,872.
The cube of any even number is always even, while the cube of any odd number is always odd. The product of two or more perfect cube numbers is always a perfect cube. A perfect cube can always be expressed as the product of three identical groups of equal prime factors.
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 938?
The cube of 938 is 826,594,872 and the cube root of 938 is approximately 9.743.
First, let’s find the cube of 938. We know that the cube of a number, such that \(x^3 = y\) Where \(x\) is the given number, and \(y\) is the cubed value of that number. So, we get \(938^3 = 826,594,872\). Next, we must find the cube root of 938. We know that the cube root of a number \(x\), such that \(\sqrt[3]{x} = y\) Where \(x\) is the given number, and \(y\) is the cube root value of the number. So, we get \(\sqrt[3]{938} \approx 9.743\). Hence, the cube of 938 is 826,594,872 and the cube root of 938 is approximately 9.743.
If the side length of a cube is 938 cm, what is the volume?
The volume is 826,594,872 cm³.
Use the volume formula for a cube \(V = \text{Side}^3\). Substitute 938 for the side length: \(V = 938^3 = 826,594,872 \text{ cm}^3\).
How much larger is \(938^3\) than \(937^3\)?
\(938^3 - 937^3 = 2,636,819\).
First, find the cube of \(938^3\), which is 826,594,872. Next, find the cube of \(937^3\), which is 823,958,053. Now, find the difference between them using the subtraction method. 826,594,872 - 823,958,053 = 2,636,819. Therefore, \(938^3\) is 2,636,819 larger than \(937^3\).
If a cube with a side length of 938 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 938 cm is 826,594,872 cm³.
To find its volume, we multiply the side length by itself three times (since it’s a 3-dimensional object). Cubing 938 means multiplying 938 by itself three times: 938 × 938 = 880,344, and then 880,344 × 938 = 826,594,872. The unit of volume is cubic centimeters (cm³), because we are calculating the space inside the cube. Therefore, the volume of the cube is 826,594,872 cm³.
Estimate the cube of 939 using the cube of 938.
The cube of 939 is approximately 826,594,872.
First, identify the cube of 938. The cube of 938 is \(938^3 = 826,594,872\). Since 939 is only a tiny bit more than 938, the cube of 939 will be almost the same as the cube of 938. The cube of 939 is approximately 826,594,872 because the difference between 938 and 939 is very small. So, we can approximate the value as 826,594,872.
Binomial Formula: An algebraic expression used to expand the powers of a number, written as \((a + b)^n\), where ‘n’ is a positive integer raised to the base. The formula is used to find the square and cube of a number. Cube of a Number: Multiplying a number by itself three times is called the cube of a number. Exponential Form: A way of expressing numbers using a base and an exponent (or power), where the exponent value indicates how many times the base is multiplied by itself. For example, \(2^3\) represents \(2 \times 2 \times 2\) equals 8. Volume Formula: The formula used to calculate the space inside a cube, expressed as \(V = \text{Side}^3\). Perfect Cube: A number that can be expressed as the cube of an integer.
