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 959.
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 959 can be written as 959³, which is the exponential form. Or it can also be written in arithmetic form as, 959 × 959 × 959.
To check 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 kids to cube the 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. 959³ = 959 × 959 × 959 Step 2: You get 882,953,279 as the answer. Hence, the cube of 959 is 882,953,279.
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 959 into two parts, as 900 and 59. Let a = 900 and b = 59, so a + b = 959 Step 2: Now, apply the formula (a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³ Step 3: Calculate each term a³ = 900³ 3a²b = 3 × 900² × 59 3ab² = 3 × 900 × 59² b³ = 59³ Step 4: Add all the terms together: (a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³ (900 + 59)³ = 900³ + 3 × 900² × 59 + 3 × 900 × 59² + 59³ 959³ = 729,000,000 + 143,910,000 + 9,364,500 + 205,379 959³ = 882,953,279 Step 5: Hence, the cube of 959 is 882,953,279.
To find the cube of 959 using a calculator, input the number 959 and use the cube function (if available) or multiply 959 × 959 × 959. This operation calculates the value of 959³, resulting in 882,953,279. It’s a quick way to determine the cube without manual computation. Step 1: Ensure the calculator is functioning properly. Step 2: Press 9, 5, and 9 Step 3: If the calculator has a cube function, press it to calculate 959³. Step 4: If there is no cube function on the calculator, simply multiply 959 three times manually. Step 5: The calculator will display 882,953,279.
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 959?
The cube of 959 is 882,953,279, and the cube root of 959 is approximately 9.826.
First, let’s find the cube of 959. 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 959³ = 882,953,279. Next, we must find the cube root of 959. 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 ∛959 ≈ 9.826. Hence the cube of 959 is 882,953,279, and the cube root of 959 is approximately 9.826.
If the side length of a cube is 959 cm, what is the volume?
The volume is 882,953,279 cm³.
Use the volume formula for a cube V = Side³. Substitute 959 for the side length: V = 959³ = 882,953,279 cm³.
How much larger is 959³ than 900³?
959³ – 900³ = 153,953,279.
First, find the cube of 959³, that is 882,953,279. Next, find the cube of 900³, which is 729,000,000. Now, find the difference between them using the subtraction method. 882,953,279 – 729,000,000 = 153,953,279. Therefore, 959³ is 153,953,279 larger than 900³.
If a cube with a side length of 959 cm is compared to a cube with a side length of 500 cm, how much larger is the volume of the larger cube?
The volume of the cube with a side length of 959 cm is 882,953,279 cm³.
To find its volume, we multiply the side length by itself three times (since it’s a 3-dimensional object). Cubing 959 means multiplying 959 by itself three times: 959 × 959 = 919,681, and then 919,681 × 959 = 882,953,279. The unit of volume is cubic centimeters (cm³) because we are calculating the space inside the cube. Therefore, the volume of the cube is 882,953,279 cm³.
Estimate the cube of 960 using the cube of 959.
The cube of 960 is approximately 884,736,000.
First, identify the cube of 959, The cube of 959 is 959³ = 882,953,279. Since 960 is only a tiny bit more than 959, the cube of 960 will be slightly more than the cube of 959. The cube of 960 is approximately 884,736,000 because the difference between 959 and 960 is very small. So, we can use the nearby value for approximation.
Binomial Formula: It is 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: It is 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, 2³ represents 2 × 2 × 2 equals 8. Perfect Cube: A number that can be expressed as the product of an integer multiplied by itself three times. Cube Root: The cube root of a number is a value that, when multiplied by itself three times, gives the original number.
