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 130.
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 multiplying a negative number by itself three times results in a negative number.
The cube of 130 can be written as \(130^3\), which is the exponential form.
Or, it can also be written in arithmetic form as \(130 \times 130 \times 130\).
To check whether a number is a cube number or not, we can use three methods: multiplication method, a factor formula (\(a^3\)), or by using a calculator. These methods help calculate the cube faster and easier without confusion while evaluating the answer.
The multiplication method in mathematics is 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. \[130^3 = 130 \times 130 \times 130\]
Step 2: You get 2,197,000 as the answer. Hence, the cube of 130 is 2,197,000.
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 130 into two parts. Let \(a = 100\) and \(b = 30\), so \(a + b = 130\).
Step 2: Now, apply the formula \((a + b)^3 = a^3 + 3a^2b + 3ab^2 + b^3\).
Step 3: Calculate each term: \(a^3 = 100^3\) \(3a^2b = 3 \times 100^2 \times 30\) \(3ab^2 = 3 \times 100 \times 30^2\) \(b^3 = 30^3\)
Step 4: Add all the terms together: \((a + b)^3 = a^3 + 3a^2b + 3ab^2 + b^3\) \((100 + 30)^3 = 100^3 + 3 \times 100^2 \times 30 + 3 \times 100 \times 30^2 + 30^3\) \(130^3 = 1,000,000 + 900,000 + 270,000 + 27,000\) \(130^3 = 2,197,000\)
Step 5: Hence, the cube of 130 is 2,197,000.
To find the cube of 130 using a calculator, input the number 130 and use the cube function (if available), or multiply \(130 \times 130 \times 130\). This operation calculates the value of \(130^3\), resulting in 2,197,000. 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 and 0.
Step 3: If the calculator has a cube function, press it to calculate \(130^3\).
Step 4: If there is no cube function on the calculator, simply multiply 130 three times manually.
Step 5: The calculator will display 2,197,000.
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 130?
The cube of 130 is 2,197,000 and the cube root of 130 is approximately 5.06.
First, let’s find the cube of 130.
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 \(130^3 = 2,197,000\).
Next, we must find the cube root of 130.
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 \(\sqrt[3]{130} \approx 5.06\).
Hence, the cube of 130 is 2,197,000 and the cube root of 130 is approximately 5.06.
If the side length of the cube is 130 cm, what is the volume?
The volume is 2,197,000 cm³.
Use the volume formula for a cube \(V = \text{Side}^3\).
Substitute 130 for the side length: \(V = 130^3 = 2,197,000 \text{ cm}^3\).
How much larger is \(130^3\) than \(100^3\)?
\(130^3 - 100^3 = 1,197,000\).
First, find the cube of \(130^3\), that is 2,197,000.
Next, find the cube of \(100^3\), which is 1,000,000.
Now, find the difference between them using the subtraction method. 2,197,000 - 1,000,000 = 1,197,000.
Therefore, \(130^3\) is 1,197,000 larger than \(100^3\).
If a cube with a side length of 130 cm is compared to a cube with a side length of 30 cm, how much larger is the volume of the larger cube?
The volume of the cube with a side length of 130 cm is 2,197,000 cm³.
To find its volume, multiply the side length by itself three times (since it’s a 3-dimensional object).
Cubing 130 means multiplying 130 by itself three times: \(130 \times 130 = 16,900\), and then \(16,900 \times 130 = 2,197,000\).
The unit of volume is cubic centimeters (cm³) because we are calculating the space inside the cube.
Therefore, the volume of the cube is 2,197,000 cm³.
Estimate the cube of 129.9 using the cube of 130.
The cube of 129.9 is approximately 2,197,000.
First, identify the cube of 130.
The cube of 130 is \(130^3 = 2,197,000\).
Since 129.9 is only a tiny bit less than 130, the cube of 129.9 will be almost the same as the cube of 130.
The cube of 129.9 is approximately 2,197,000 because the difference between 129.9 and 130 is very small.
So, we can approximate the value as 2,197,000.
