Cube Root of 49
The cube root of 49 is the value that, when multiplied by itself three times (cubed), gives the original number 49. Do you know? Cube roots apply to our real life also, like that for measuring dimensions, creating digital art, field of engineering, making financial decisions etc.
What Is the Cube Root of 49?
The cube root of 49 is 3.65930571002. The cube root of 49 is expressed as ∛49 in radical form, where the “ ∛ ” sign" is called the “radical” sign. In exponential form, it is written as (49)⅓. If “m” is the cube root of 49, then, m3=49. Let us find the value of “m”.
Finding the Cubic Root of 49
We can find cube root of 49 through a method, named as, Halley’s Method. Let us see how it finds the result.
Cubic Root of 49 By Halley’s Method
Now, what is Halley’s Method? It is an iterative method for finding cube roots of a given number N, such that, x3=N, where this method approximates the value of “x”.
Formula is ∛a≅ x((x3+2a) / (2x3+a)), where
a=given number whose cube root you are going to find
x=integer guess for the cubic root
Let us apply Halley’s method on the given number 49.
Step 1: Let a=49. Let us take x as 3, since, 33=27 is the nearest perfect cube which is less than 49.
Step 2: Apply the formula. ∛49≅ 3((33+2×49) / (2(3)3+49))= 3.64…
Hence, 3.64… is the approximate cubic root of 49.
Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them in the Cube Root of 49
Understanding common misconceptions or mistakes can make your calculations error free. So let us see how to avoid those from happening.
Mistake 1
Students might make errors during factorization. For ∛49, students can make error in the crucial part and may write as ∛49=73
Prime Factorization is a crucial part in determining cube roots and square roots. So, use the exact prime factors and group (or pair)
Mistake 2
Students forget the concept of cube roots often, by not understanding the definition.
This happens because of uncleared understanding of cube roots and the methods to find it.
Mistake 3
For large non-perfect cubes, students often estimate wrongly and leave it with a wrong result.
Keep the methods of finding cube roots in front whenever attempting large non-perfect cubes.
Mistake 4
Students often depend on memorizing rather than understanding concepts of cube root.
Memorizing is not the solution when it comes to complex problems.It is advisable to get the proper understanding of the methods of finding cube roots.
Mistake 5
Misapply the cube root property like when asked to solve ∛(49)³, students might do as ∛(49×3)
Clear the concepts again and again if they don’t understand where to do what. ∛(49)3≠∛(49×3).
∛(49)3= 49
Cube Root of 49 Examples
Problem 1
Find ((∛98/ ∛49) × (∛98/ ∛49) × (∛98/ ∛49))
(∛98/ ∛49) × (∛98/ ∛49) × (∛98/ ∛49)
= (∛98× ∛98× ∛98) / (∛49× ∛49× ∛49)
=((98)⅓)3/ ((49)⅓)3
=98/49
=2
Answer: 2
Explanation
We solved and simplified the exponent part first using the fact that, ∛98=(98)⅓ and ∛49=(49)⅓ , then solved.
Problem 2
If y = ∛49, find y³/ y⁶
y=∛49
⇒ y3/y6= (∛49)3 / (∛49)6
⇒ y3/y6= 49/ (49)2= 1/49
Answer: 1/49
Explanation
(∛49)3=(491/3)3
=49, and ∛(49)6
=(491/3)6=(49)2.
Using this, we found the value of y3/y6.
Problem 3
Multiply ∛49 × ∛64 × ∛125
∛49 × ∛64 × ∛125
= 3.659 × 4 ×5
= 73.18
Answer: 73.18
Explanation
We know that the cubic root of 64 is 4 and the cubic root of 125 is 5, hence multiplying ∛125, ∛64 and ∛49.
Problem 4
What is ∛(100)⁶+ ∛(49)⁶ ?
∛(1006)+ ∛(49)6
= ((100)6))1/3 +((49)6)1/3
=(100)2 + (49)2
= 10000 + 2401
Answer: 12401
Explanation
We solved and simplified the exponent part first using the fact that, ∛100=(100)⅓ and ∛49=(49)⅓ , then solved.
Problem 5
Find ∛(49+(-9)+(-13))
∛(49-9-13)
= ∛27
=3
Answer: 3
Explanation
Simplified the expression, and found out the cubic root of the result.
