When a number is multiplied by itself thrice, the resultant number is called the cube of a number. Cubing is used while comparing sizes of objects or things with cubic measurements. In this topic, we shall learn about cubes of 1059.
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 1059 can be written as 1059³, which is the exponential form.
Or it can also be written in arithmetic form as, 1059 × 1059 × 1059.
In order to check whether a number is a cube number or not, we can use the following three methods, such as 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 Using a Formula Using a Calculator
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. 1059³ = 1059 × 1059 × 1059
Step 2: You get 1,187,968,379 as the answer. Hence, the cube of 1059 is 1,187,968,379.
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 1059 into two parts, as 1000 and 59.
Let a = 1000 and b = 59, so a + b = 1059
Step 2: Now, apply the formula (a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³
Step 3: Calculate each term a³ = 1000³ 3a²b = 3 × 1000² × 59 3ab² = 3 × 1000 × 59² b³ = 59³
Step 4: Add all the terms together: (a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³ (1000 + 59)³ = 1000³ + 3 × 1000² × 59 + 3 × 1000 × 59² + 59³ 1059³ = 1,000,000,000 + 177,000,000 + 10,443,000 + 205,379 1059³ = 1,187,968,379
Step 5: Hence, the cube of 1059 is 1,187,968,379.
To find the cube of 1059 using a calculator, input the number 1059 and use the cube function (if available) or multiply 1059 × 1059 × 1059.
This operation calculates the value of 1059³, resulting in 1,187,968,379.
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 0, 5, and 9
Step 3: If the calculator has a cube function, press it to calculate 1059³.
Step 4: If there is no cube function on the calculator, simply multiply 1059 three times manually.
Step 5: The calculator will display 1,187,968,379.
The cube of any even number is always even, while the cube of any odd number is always odd.
The product of two or more perfect cube numbers is always a perfect cube.
A perfect cube can always be expressed as the product of three identical groups of equal prime factors.
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 1059?
The cube of 1059 is 1,187,968,379 and the cube root of 1059 is approximately 10.099.
First, let’s find the cube of 1059.
We know that the 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 1059³ = 1,187,968,379
Next, we must find the cube root of 1059
We know that the 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 ∛1059 ≈ 10.099
Hence, the cube of 1059 is 1,187,968,379 and the cube root of 1059 is approximately 10.099.
If the side length of the cube is 1059 cm, what is the volume?
The volume is 1,187,968,379 cm³.
Use the volume formula for a cube V = Side³.
Substitute 1059 for the side length: V = 1059³ = 1,187,968,379 cm³.
How much larger is 1059³ than 1000³?
1059³ – 1000³ = 187,968,379.
First find the cube of 1059, that is 1,187,968,379
Next, find the cube of 1000, which is 1,000,000,000
Now, find the difference between them using the subtraction method.
1,187,968,379 – 1,000,000,000 = 187,968,379
Therefore, 1059³ is 187,968,379 larger than 1000³.
If a cube with a side length of 1059 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 1059 cm is 1,187,968,379 cm³.
To find its volume, we multiply the side length by itself three times (since it’s a 3-dimensional object).
Cubing 1059 means multiplying 1059 by itself three times: 1059 × 1059 = 1,121,481, and then 1,121,481 × 1059 = 1,187,968,379.
The unit of volume is cubic centimeters (cm³), because we are calculating the space inside the cube.
Therefore, the volume of the cube is 1,187,968,379 cm³.
Estimate the cube of 1058 using the cube of 1059.
The cube of 1058 is approximately 1,187,968,379.
First, identify the cube of 1059, The cube of 1059 is 1059³ = 1,187,968,379.
Since 1058 is only a tiny bit less than 1059, the cube of 1058 will be almost the same as the cube of 1059.
The cube of 1058 is approximately 1,187,968,379 because the difference between 1058 and 1059 is very small.
So, we can approximate the value as 1,187,968,379.
The formula is used to find the square and cube of a number.
