Cube of -1331

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 -1331 can be written as (-1331)3, which is the exponential form. Or it can also be written in arithmetic form as -1331 × -1331 × -1331.

How to Calculate the Value of Cube of -1331

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

The multiplication method is a process in mathematics used to find the product of numbers or quantities by combining them through repeated multiplication. It is a fundamental operation that forms the basis for more complex mathematical concepts.

 

Step 1: Write down the cube of the given number.

(-1331)3 = -1331 × -1331 × -1331

 

Step 2: You get -2,352,637,961 as the answer.

 

Hence, the cube of -1331 is -2,352,637,961.

Using a Formula (a^3)

The formula (a + b)3is a binomial formula for finding the cube of a number. The formula is expanded as a3 + 3a2b + 3ab2 + b3 .

 

Step 1: Split the number -1331 into two parts, as -1300 and -31.

Let a = -1300 and b = -31, so a + b = -1331

 

Step 2: Now, apply the formula (a + b)^3 = a^3 + 3a^2b + 3ab^2 + b^3

 

Step 3: Calculate each term a= (-1300)3 , 3a2b = 3 × (-1300)2 × (-31) , 3ab2 = 3 × (-1300) × (-31)2 , b3 = (-31)3

 

Step 4: Add all the terms together: (a + b)3 = a3 + 3a2b + 3ab2 + b3

(-1300 + -31)3= (-1300)3 + 3 × (-1300)2 × (-31) + 3 × (-1300) × (-31)2 + (-31)3

(-1331)3 = -2,197,000,000 + 1,247,900 + 1,249,700 + -29,791

(-1331)3 = -2,352,637,961

 

Step 5: Hence, the cube of -1331 is -2,352,637,961.

Using a Calculator

To find the cube of -1331 using a calculator, input the number -1331 and use the cube function (if available) or multiply -1331 × -1331 × -1331. This operation calculates the value of (-1331)3, resulting in -2,352,637,961. 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 3, 3, 1, and then the negative sign

 

Step 3: If the calculator has a cube function, press it to calculate (-1331)3.

 

Step 4: If there is no cube function on the calculator, simply multiply -1331 three times manually.

 

Step 5: The calculator will display -2,352,637,961.

Problem 1

What is the cube and cube root of -1331?

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

The cube of -1331 is -2,352,637,961 and the cube root of -1331 is -11.

Explanation

First, let’s find the cube of -1331.

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 (-1331)3 = -2,352,637,961

Next, we must find the cube root of -1331

We know that 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 ∛-1331 = -11

Hence the cube of -1331 is -2,352,637,961 and the cube root of -1331 is -11.

Problem 2

If the side length of a cube is -1331 units, what is the volume?

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

The volume is -2,352,637,961 cubic units.

Explanation

Use the volume formula for a cube V = Side3.

Substitute -1331 for the side length: V = (-1331)3 = -2,352,637,961 cubic units.

Problem 3

How much larger is (-1331)^3 than (-1300)^3?

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

(-1331)^3 – (-1300)3 = -155,637,961.

Explanation

First find the cube of (-1331), which is -2,352,637,961.

Next, find the cube of (-1300), which is -2,197,000,000.

Now, find the difference between them using the subtraction method.

-2,352,637,961 - (-2,197,000,000) = -155,637,961

Therefore, (-1331)3 is -155,637,961 larger than (-1300)3.

Problem 4

If a cube with a side length of -1331 units is compared to a cube with a side length of -31 units, how much larger is the volume of the larger cube?

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

The volume of the cube with a side length of -1331 units is -2,352,637,961 cubic units.

Explanation

To find its volume, we multiply the side length by itself three times (since it’s a 3-dimensional object).

Cubing -1331 means multiplying -1331 by itself three times: -1331 × -1331 = 1,769,161, and then 1,769,161 × -1331 = -2,352,637,961.

The unit of volume is cubic units, because we are calculating the space inside the cube.

Therefore, the volume of the cube is -2,352,637,961 cubic units.

Problem 5

Estimate the cube of -1329 using the cube of -1331.

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

The cube of -1329 is approximately -2,352,637,961.

Explanation

First, identify the cube of -1331.

The cube of -1331 is (-1331)3 = -2,352,637,961.

Since -1329 is only a tiny bit different from -1331, the cube of -1329 will be almost the same as the cube of -1331.

The cube of -1329 is approximately -2,352,637,961 because the difference between -1329 and -1331 is very small.

So, we can approximate the value as -2,352,637,961.
