When a number is multiplied by itself thrice, the resultant number is called the cube of a number. Cubing is useful when comparing sizes of objects or things with cubic measurements. In this topic, we shall learn about the cube of 1017.
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 1017 can be written as 1017³, which is the exponential form. Or it can also be written in arithmetic form as, 1017 × 1017 × 1017.
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 (a³), or by using a calculator. These three methods will help students 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 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. 1017³ = 1017 × 1017 × 1017
Step 2: Perform the multiplication to get the result. Hence, the cube of 1017 is 1,052,711,313.
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 1017 into two parts. Let a = 1000 and b = 17, so a + b = 1017
Step 2: Now, apply the formula (a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³
Step 3: Calculate each term
a³ = 1000³
3a²b = 3 × 1000² × 17
3ab² = 3 × 1000 × 17²
b³ = 17³
Step 4: Add all the terms together:
(a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³
(1000 + 17)³ = 1000³ + 3 × 1000² × 17 + 3 × 1000 × 17² + 17³
1017³ = 1,000,000,000 + 51,000,000 + 867,000 + 4,913
1017³ = 1,052,711,313
Step 5: Hence, the cube of 1017 is 1,052,711,313.
To find the cube of 1017 using a calculator, input the number 1017 and use the cube function (if available) or multiply 1017 × 1017 × 1017. This operation calculates the value of 1017³, resulting in 1,052,711,313. It’s a quick way to determine the cube without manual computation.
Step 1: Ensure the calculator is functioning properly.
Step 2: Press 1, 0, 1, and 7
Step 3: If the calculator has a cube function, press it to calculate 1017³.
Step 4: If there is no cube function on the calculator, simply multiply 1017 three times manually.
Step 5: The calculator will display 1,052,711,313.
There are some typical errors that students might make during the process of cubing a number. Let us take a look at five of the major mistakes that students might make:
What is the cube and cube root of 1017?
The cube of 1017 is 1,052,711,313 and the cube root of 1017 is approximately 10.077.
First, let’s find the cube of 1017.
We know that the cube of a number is such that x³ = y, where x is the given number, and y is the cubed value of that number.
So, we get 1017³ = 1,052,711,313.
Next, we must find the cube root of 1017.
We know that the cube root of a number ‘x’ is such that ∛x = y, where ‘x’ is the given number, and y is the cube root value of the number.
So, we get ∛1017 ≈ 10.077.
Hence, the cube of 1017 is 1,052,711,313 and the cube root of 1017 is approximately 10.077.
If the side length of the cube is 1017 cm, what is the volume?
The volume is 1,052,711,313 cm³.
Use the volume formula for a cube V = Side³.
Substitute 1017 for the side length: V = 1017³ = 1,052,711,313 cm³.
How much larger is 1017³ than 1000³?
1017³ – 1000³ = 52,711,313.
First, find the cube of 1017³, which is 1,052,711,313.
Next, find the cube of 1000³, which is 1,000,000,000.
Now, find the difference between them using the subtraction method. 1,052,711,313 – 1,000,000,000 = 52,711,313.
Therefore, 1017³ is 52,711,313 larger than 1000³.
If a cube with a side length of 1017 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 1017 cm is 1,052,711,313 cm³.
To find its volume, we multiply the side length by itself three times (since it’s a 3-dimensional object).
Cubing 1017 means multiplying 1017 by itself three times: 1017 × 1017 = 1,034,289, and 1,034,289 × 1017 = 1,052,711,313.
The unit of volume is cubic centimeters (cm³) because we are calculating the space inside the cube.
Therefore, the volume of the cube is 1,052,711,313 cm³.
Estimate the cube of 1016 using the cube of 1017.
The cube of 1016 is approximately 1,052,711,313.
First, identify the cube of 1017, The cube of 1017 is 1,052,711,313.
Since 1016 is only slightly less than 1017, the cube of 1016 will be almost the same as the cube of 1017.
The cube of 1016 is approximately 1,052,711,313 because the difference between 1016 and 1017 is very small
So, we can approximate the value as 1,052,711,313.
