Cube Root of 3

Q: How to calculate ∛ ?

∛ is the symbol which denotes cube root. The cube root of a given number can be found out through Prime factorization, Halley’s Method and Successive subtraction method.

Q: How to find the cube of 3?

The cube of 3 can be found by multiplying 3 with itself thrice, i.e., 3×3×3. The value is 27.

Q: Can you simplify ∛3?

∛3 cannot be simplified further, since on prime factorization of 3, the prime factors of 3 cannot be grouped as 3 same factors. Also, 3 is itself a prime number.

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

The cube root of 3 is the value which, when multiplied by itself three times (cubed), gives the original number 3. Do you know? Cube roots are there in our real life too, like that for measuring dimensions, density and mass, field of engineering etc.

Cube Root of 3 for US Students

What Is the Cube Root of 3?

The cube root of 3 is 1.44224957031. The cube root of 3 is expressed as ∛3 in radical form, where the “∛" the sign is called the “radical” sign. In exponential form, it is written as (3)^⅓. If “m” is the cube root of 3, then, m³=3. Let us find the value of “m”.

Finding the Cube Root of 3

The cube root of 3 is expressed as ∛3 as its simplest radical form. We can find cube root of 3 through a method, named as, Halley’s Method. Let us see how it finds the result.

Cube Root of 3 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 3.

Step 1: Let a=3. Let us take x as 1, since, 13=1 is the nearest perfect cube which is less than 3.

Step 2: Apply the formula. ∛3≅ 1((1³+2×3) / (2(1)³+3))= 1.4

Hence, 1.4 is the approximate cubic root of 3.

Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them in the Cube Root of 3

Understanding common misconceptions or mistakes can make your calculations error free. So let us see how to avoid those from happening.

Mistake 1

Students can get confused about the fact that cube roots can be rational or irrational. They might think all cube roots are irrational.

The cube roots are rational or irrational depending upon the original number. The ∛3=1.442… is irrational, whereas ∛8=2 is rational.

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 rely on memorizing rather than understanding concepts of cube root.

Memorizing is not the solution when it comes to complex problems. So understanding the methods of finding cube roots is advisable.

Mistake 5

Not checking for perfect cubes, like that of 64, before using calculators for approximation.

Try to remember which are the perfect cubes, at least from 1 to 100.

Cube Root of 3 Examples

Ray, the Character from BrightChamps Explaining Math Concepts

Problem 1

Find ((∛3/ ∛6) × (∛3/ ∛6) × (∛3/ ∛6)) + (((∛3/ ∛6) × (∛3/ ∛6) × (∛3/ ∛6))

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

((∛3/ ∛6) × (∛3/ ∛6) × (∛3/ ∛6)) +((∛3/ ∛6) × (∛3/ ∛6) × (∛3/ ∛6))

= ((∛3× ∛3× ∛3) / (∛6× ∛6× ∛6)) + ((∛3× ∛3× ∛3) / (∛6× ∛6× ∛6))

=((3)⅓)³/ ((6)^⅓)³ + ((3)^⅓)³/ ((6)^⅓)

=3/6 + 3/6

= 1/2 + 1/2

Answer: 1

Explanation

We solved and simplified the exponent part first using the fact that, ∛3=(3)^⅓ and ∛6=(6)^⅓ , then solved.

Problem 2

If y = ∛3, find y³.

y=∛3

⇒ y³= (∛3)³

⇒ y³= 3

Answer: 3

Explanation

(∛3)³=(3^1/3)³=3. Using this, we found the value of y³.

Problem 3

Subtract ∛3 + ∛27 + √9 + √27

∛3 + ∛27 + √9 + √27

= 1.442 + 3 + 3 + 5.196

= 12.638

Answer: 12.638

Explanation

We know that the cubic root of 27 is 3, the square root of 9 is ±3, and the square root of 27 is ±5.196 hence applying these solved the problem

Problem 4

What is ∛(3⁶) + ∛(3⁹) ?

∛(3⁶) + ∛(3⁹)

= ((3)⁶))^1/3 + ((3)⁹)^1/3

=(3)² + (3)³

= 9 + 27

= 36

Answer: 36

Explanation

We solved and simplified the exponent part first using the fact that, ∛3=(3)⅓, then solved.

Problem 5

Find ∛(3+5)).

Solution:

∛(3+5)

= ∛8

= 2

Answer: 2

Explanation

Simplified the expression, and found out the cubic root of the result.
