The cube root of a number is a value that when multiplied by itself three times gives back the original number. We apply the function of cube roots in the fields of engineering, designing, financial mathematics, and many more. Let's learn more about the cube root of 135.
The cube root can be classified into two categories: perfect cubes and non-perfect cubes. For example, the cube root of 216 is 6 which is a whole number, making it a perfect cube. However, the cube root of 135 is not a whole number. The cube root of 135 is approximately 5.13.
The cube root of 135 is represented using the radical sign as ∛135, and can also be written in exponential form as 1351/3. The prime factorization of 135 is 33 × 5. It is also an irrational number where ∛135 cannot be expressed in the form of p/q where both p and q are integers and q ≠ 0.
Halley’s method is a step-by-step way to find the cube root of a non-perfect cube number. Here, we will find the value of ‘a’ where a3 is the non-perfect cube
∛a≅ x (x3+2a) / (2x3+a) is the formula used in this method.
As 135 is a non-perfect cube number, it lies between the two perfect cube numbers. Here, ‘a’ lies between 125 (53) and 216 (63)
By applying Halley’s Method, we get.
Step 1: Let the number ‘a’ = 135. Start by taking ‘x’ = 5, as 125 (∛125 = 5) is the nearest perfect cube which is closer to 135
Step 2: Apply the value of ‘a = 135’ and ‘x = 5’ in the formula:
∛a≅ x (x3+2a) / (2x3+a)
Step 3: The formula will be,
∛135 ≅ 5 (53+2*135) (2*53+135)
Step 4: After simplifying, we get the cube root of 135 as 5.12992784
