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 71.
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 by itself three times results in a negative number.
The cube of 71 can be written as 71³, which is the exponential form.
Or it can also be written in arithmetic form as, 71 × 71 × 71.
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 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. 71³ = 71 × 71 × 71
Step 2: You get 357,911 as the answer.
Hence, the cube of 71 is 357,911.
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 71 into two parts, as 70 and 1. Let a = 70 and b = 1, so a + b = 71
Step 2: Now, apply the formula (a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³
Step 3: Calculate each term a³ = 70³ 3a²b = 3 × 70² × 1 3ab² = 3 × 70 × 1² b³ = 1³
Step 4: Add all the terms together: (a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³ (70 + 1)³ = 70³ + 3 × 70² × 1 + 3 × 70 × 1² + 1³ 71³ = 343,000 + 14,700 + 210 + 1 71³ = 357,911
Step 5: Hence, the cube of 71 is 357,911.
To find the cube of 71 using a calculator, input the number 71 and use the cube function (if available) or multiply 71 × 71 × 71. This operation calculates the value of 71³, resulting in 357,911. It’s a quick way to determine the cube without manual computation.
Step 1: Ensure the calculator is functioning properly.
Step 2: Press 7 followed by 1
Step 3: If the calculator has a cube function, press it to calculate 71³.
Step 4: If there is no cube function on the calculator, simply multiply 71 three times manually.
Step 5: The calculator will display 357,911.
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 71?
The cube of 71 is 357,911 and the cube root of 71 is approximately 4.141.
First, let’s find the cube of 71.
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 71³ = 357,911. Next, we must find the cube root of 71.
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 ∛71 ≈ 4.141.
Hence the cube of 71 is 357,911 and the cube root of 71 is approximately 4.141.
If the side length of the cube is 71 cm, what is the volume?
The volume is 357,911 cm³.
Use the volume formula for a cube V = Side³.
Substitute 71 for the side length: V = 71³ = 357,911 cm³.
How much larger is 71³ than 61³?
71³ – 61³ = 260,591.
First find the cube of 71³, that is 357,911.
Next, find the cube of 61³, which is 97,320.
Now, find the difference between them using the subtraction method. 357,911 – 97,320 = 260,591.
Therefore, 71³ is 260,591 larger than 61³.
If a cube with a side length of 71 cm is compared to a cube with a side length of 11 cm, how much larger is the volume of the larger cube?
The volume of the cube with a side length of 71 cm is 357,911 cm³.
To find its volume, we multiply the side length by itself three times (since it’s a 3-dimensional object).
Cubing 71 means multiplying 71 by itself three times: 71 × 71 = 5,041, and then 5,041 × 71 = 357,911.
The unit of volume is cubic centimeters (cm³), because we are calculating the space inside the cube.
Therefore, the volume of the cube is 357,911 cm³.
Estimate the cube of 70.9 using the cube of 71.
The cube of 70.9 is approximately 357,911.
First, identify the cube of 71. The cube of 71 is 71³ = 357,911.
Since 70.9 is only a tiny bit less than 71, the cube of 70.9 will be almost the same as the cube of 71.
The cube of 70.9 is approximately 357,911 because the difference between 70.9 and 71 is very small.
So, we can approximate the value as 357,911.
