Cube Root of 9261

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

A number we multiply by itself three times to get the original number is its cube root. It has various uses in real life, such as finding the volume of cube-shaped objects and designing structures. We will now find the cube root of 9261 and explain the methods used.

What is the Cube Root of 9261?

We have learned the definition of the cube root. Now, let’s learn how it is represented using a symbol and exponent. The symbol we use to express the cube root is the radical sign (∛), and the exponent we use is ⅓.

In exponential form, ∛9261 is written as 9261(1/3). The cube root is just the opposite operation of finding the cube of a number. For example: Assume ‘y’ as the cube root of 9261, then y3 can be 9261. Since 9261 is a perfect cube, we find that ∛9261 is exactly 21.

Finding the Cube Root of 9261

Finding the cube root of a number is to identify the number that must be multiplied three times resulting in the target number. Now, we will go through the different ways to find the cube root of 9261. The common methods we follow to find the cube root are given below:

  • Prime factorization method
  • Approximation method
  • Subtraction method
  • Halley’s method
     

Since 9261 is a perfect cube, we can effectively use the prime factorization method.

Cube Root of 9261 by Prime Factorization

Let's find the cube root of 9261 using the prime factorization method.

First, find the prime factors of 9261:

9261 ÷ 3 = 3087

3087 ÷ 3 = 1029

1029 ÷ 3 = 343

343 ÷ 7 = 49

49 ÷ 7 = 7

7 ÷ 7 = 1

The prime factorization of 9261 is 33 × 73.

To find the cube root, take one factor from each triplet of the same number:

∛(33× 73) = 3 × 7 = 21

The cube root of 9261 is 21.

Problem 1

Imagine you have a cube-shaped toy that has a total volume of 9261 cubic centimeters. Find the length of one side of the cube.

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

Side of the cube = ∛9261 = 21 units

Explanation

To find the side of the cube, we need to find the cube root of the given volume.

Therefore, the side length of the cube is exactly 21 units.

Problem 2

A company manufactures 9261 cubic meters of material. Calculate the amount of material left after using 2000 cubic meters.

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

The amount of material left is 7261 cubic meters.

Explanation

To find the remaining material, we need to subtract the used material from the total amount:

9261 - 2000 = 7261 cubic meters.

Problem 3

A bottle holds 9261 cubic meters of volume. Another bottle holds a volume of 739 cubic meters. What would be the total volume if the bottles are combined?

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

The total volume of the combined bottles is 10000 cubic meters.

Explanation

Let’s add the volume of both bottles:

9261 + 739 = 10000 cubic meters.

Problem 4

When the cube root of 9261 is multiplied by 2, calculate the resultant value. How will this affect the cube of the new value?

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

2 × 21 = 42 The cube of 42 = 74088

Explanation

When we multiply the cube root of 9261 by 2, it results in a significant increase in the volume because the cube increases exponentially.

Problem 5

Find ∛(5000 + 4261).

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

∛(5000 + 4261) = ∛9261 = 21

Explanation

As shown in the question ∛(5000 + 4261), we can simplify that by adding them.

So, 5000 + 4261 = 9261.

Then, we find that ∛9261 = 21, which is the answer.
