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 cubes of 960.
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 960 can be written as 960³, which is the exponential form. Or it can also be written in arithmetic form as, 960 × 960 × 960.
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 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. 960³ = 960 × 960 × 960 Step 2: You get 884,736,000 as the answer. Hence, the cube of 960 is 884,736,000.
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 960 into two parts. Let a = 900 and b = 60, so a + b = 960 Step 2: Now, apply the formula (a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³ Step 3: Calculate each term a³ = 900³ 3a²b = 3 × 900² × 60 3ab² = 3 × 900 × 60² b³ = 60³ Step 4: Add all the terms together: (a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³ (900 + 60)³ = 900³ + 3 × 900² × 60 + 3 × 900 × 60² + 60³ 960³ = 729,000,000 + 145,800,000 + 97,200,000 + 216,000 960³ = 884,736,000 Step 5: Hence, the cube of 960 is 884,736,000.
To find the cube of 960 using a calculator, input the number 960 and use the cube function (if available) or multiply 960 × 960 × 960. This operation calculates the value of 960³, resulting in 884,736,000. It’s a quick way to determine the cube without manual computation. Step 1: Ensure the calculator is functioning properly. Step 2: Press 9 followed by 6 and 0 Step 3: If the calculator has a cube function, press it to calculate 960³. Step 4: If there is no cube function on the calculator, simply multiply 960 three times manually. Step 5: The calculator will display 884,736,000.
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 960?
The cube of 960 is 884,736,000 and the cube root of 960 is approximately 9.831.
First, let’s find the cube of 960. We know that the cube of a number is, such that x³ = y, where x is the given number, and y is the cubed value of that number. So, we get 960³ = 884,736,000. Next, we must find the cube root of 960. We know that the cube root of a number ‘x’ is, such that ∛x = y, where ‘x’ is the given number, and y is the cube root value of the number. So, we get ∛960 ≈ 9.831. Hence, the cube of 960 is 884,736,000 and the cube root of 960 is approximately 9.831.
If the side length of the cube is 960 cm, what is the volume?
The volume is 884,736,000 cm³.
Use the volume formula for a cube V = Side³. Substitute 960 for the side length: V = 960³ = 884,736,000 cm³.
How much larger is 960³ than 450³?
960³ – 450³ = 856,161,750.
First find the cube of 960, which is 884,736,000. Next, find the cube of 450, which is 28,574,250. Now, find the difference between them using the subtraction method. 884,736,000 – 28,574,250 = 856,161,750. Therefore, 960³ is 856,161,750 larger than 450³.
If a cube with a side length of 960 cm is compared to a cube with a side length of 80 cm, how much larger is the volume of the larger cube?
The volume of the cube with a side length of 960 cm is 884,736,000 cm³.
To find its volume, we multiply the side length by itself three times (since it’s a 3-dimensional object). Cubing 960 means multiplying 960 by itself three times: 960 × 960 = 921,600, and then 921,600 × 960 = 884,736,000. The unit of volume is cubic centimeters (cm³), because we are calculating the space inside the cube. Therefore, the volume of the cube is 884,736,000 cm³.
Estimate the cube 959.9 using the cube of 960.
The cube of 959.9 is approximately 884,736,000.
First, identify the cube of 960, The cube of 960 is 960³ = 884,736,000. Since 959.9 is only a tiny bit less than 960, the cube of 959.9 will be almost the same as the cube of 960. The cube of 959.9 is approximately 884,736,000 because the difference between 959.9 and 960 is very small. So, we can approximate the value as 884,736,000.
Binomial Formula: An algebraic expression used to expand the powers of a number, written as (a + b)ⁿ, where ‘n’ is a positive integer raised to the base. The formula is used to find the square and cube of a number. Cube of a Number: Multiplying a number by itself three times is called the cube of a number. Exponential Form: A way of expressing numbers using a base and an exponent (or power), where the exponent value indicates how many times the base is multiplied by itself. For example, 3³ represents 3 × 3 × 3 equals 27. Volume of a Cube: The amount of space occupied by a cube, calculated as the cube of its side length. Cube Root: The number which produces a given number when cubed, denoted as ∛x. For example, ∛27 = 3.
