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 4.25.
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 4.25 can be written as 4.25³, which is the exponential form. Or it can also be written in arithmetic form as, 4.25 × 4.25 × 4.25.
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 you to cube 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. 4.25³ = 4.25 × 4.25 × 4.25
Step 2: You get approximately 76.765625 as the answer. Hence, the cube of 4.25 is approximately 76.765625.
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 4.25 into two parts, as 4 and 0.25. Let a = 4 and b = 0.25, so a + b = 4.25
Step 2: Now, apply the formula (a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³
Step 3: Calculate each term a³ = 4³ 3a²b = 3 × 4² × 0.25 3ab² = 3 × 4 × 0.25² b³ = 0.25³
Step 4: Add all the terms together:
(a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³
(4 + 0.25)³ = 4³ + 3 × 4² × 0.25 + 3 × 4 × 0.25² + 0.25³
4.25³ = 64 + 12 + 0.75 + 0.015625
4.25³ = 76.765625
Step 5: Hence, the cube of 4.25 is approximately 76.765625.
To find the cube of 4.25 using a calculator, input the number 4.25 and use the cube function (if available) or multiply 4.25 × 4.25 × 4.25. This operation calculates the value of 4.25³, resulting in approximately 76.765625. It’s a quick way to determine the cube without manual computation.
Step 1: Ensure the calculator is functioning properly.
Step 2: Press 4.25
Step 3: If the calculator has a cube function, press it to calculate 4.25³.
Step 4: If there is no cube function on the calculator, simply multiply 4.25 three times manually.
Step 5: The calculator will display approximately 76.765625.
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.
