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 1009.
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 1009 can be written as 1009³, which is the exponential form. Or it can also be written in arithmetic form as, 1009 × 1009 × 1009.
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 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. 1009³ = 1009 × 1009 × 1009
Step 2: You get 1,027,297,729 as the answer. Hence, the cube of 1009 is 1,027,297,729.
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 1009 into two parts, as 1000 and 9. Let a = 1000 and b = 9, so a + b = 1009
Step 2: Now, apply the formula (a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³
Step 3: Calculate each term
a³ = 1000³
3a²b = 3 × 1000² × 9
3ab² = 3 × 1000 × 9²
b³ = 9³
Step 4: Add all the terms together:
(a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³
(1000 + 9)³ = 1000³ + 3 × 1000² × 9 + 3 × 1000 × 9² + 9³
1009³ = 1,000,000,000 + 27,000,000 + 243,000 + 729
1009³ = 1,027,297,729
Step 5: Hence, the cube of 1009 is 1,027,297,729.
To find the cube of 1009 using a calculator, input the number 1009 and use the cube function (if available) or multiply 1009 × 1009 × 1009. This operation calculates the value of 1009³, resulting in 1,027,297,729. 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 9
Step 3: If the calculator has a cube function, press it to calculate 1009³.
Step 4: If there is no cube function on the calculator, simply multiply 1009 three times manually.
Step 5: The calculator will display 1,027,297,729.
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 1009?
The cube of 1009 is 1,027,297,729 and the cube root of 1009 is approximately 10.032.
First, let’s find the cube of 1009.
We know that 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 1009³ = 1,027,297,729
Next, we must find the cube root of 1009
We know that cube root of a number ‘x’, such that ³√x = y Where ‘x’ is the given number, and y is the cube root value of the number
So, we get ³√1009 ≈ 10.032
Hence, the cube of 1009 is 1,027,297,729 and the cube root of 1009 is approximately 10.032.
If the side length of the cube is 1009 cm, what is the volume?
The volume is 1,027,297,729 cm³.
Use the volume formula for a cube V = Side³.
Substitute 1009 for the side length: V = 1009³ = 1,027,297,729 cm³.
How much larger is 1009³ than 1008³?
1009³ – 1008³ = 3,038,145.
First, find the cube of 1009, that is 1,027,297,729
Next, find the cube of 1008, which is 1,024,259,584
Now, find the difference between them using the subtraction method. 1,027,297,729 – 1,024,259,584 = 3,038,145
Therefore, 1009³ is 3,038,145 larger than 1008³.
If a cube with a side length of 1009 cm is compared to a cube with a side length of 1000 cm, how much larger is the volume of the larger cube?
The volume of the cube with a side length of 1009 cm is 1,027,297,729 cm³.
To find its volume, we multiply the side length by itself three times (since it’s a 3-dimensional object).
Cubing 1009 means multiplying 1009 by itself three times: 1009 × 1009 = 1,018,081, and then 1,018,081 × 1009 = 1,027,297,729.
The unit of volume is cubic centimeters (cm³), because we are calculating the space inside the cube.
Therefore, the volume of the cube is 1,027,297,729 cm³.
Estimate the cube of 1008.9 using the cube of 1009.
The cube of 1008.9 is approximately 1,027,297,729.
First, identify the cube of 1009, The cube of 1009 is 1009³ = 1,027,297,729.
Since 1008.9 is only a tiny bit less than 1009, the cube of 1008.9 will be almost the same as the cube of 1009.
The cube of 1008.9 is approximately 1,027,297,729 because the difference between 1008.9 and 1009 is very small.
So, we can approximate the value as 1,027,297,729.
