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 843 and explain the methods used.
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, ∛843 is written as 843(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 843, then y3 can be 843. Since the cube root of 843 is not an exact value, so we can write it as approximately 9.438.
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 843. The common methods we follow to find the cube root are given below:
To find the cube root of a non-perfect number, we often follow Halley’s method.
Since 843 is not a perfect cube, we use Halley’s method.
Let's find the cube root of 843 using Halley’s method.
The formula is ∛a ≅ x((x^3 + 2a) / (2x^3 + a))
where:
a = the number for which the cube root is being calculated
x = the nearest perfect cube Substituting, a = 843; x = 9
∛a ≅ 9((9^3 + 2 × 843) / (2 × 9^3 + 843))
∛843 ≅ 9((729 + 1686) / (1458 + 843))
∛843 ≅ 9.438 The cube root of 843 is approximately 9.438.
Finding the cube root of a number without errors can be a difficult task for students. This happens for many reasons. Here are a few mistakes the students commonly make and the ways to avoid them:
Imagine you have a cube-shaped object that has a total volume of 843 cubic centimeters. Find the length of one side of the cube equal to its cube root.
Side of the cube = ∛843 = 9.438 units
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 approximately 9.438 units.
A company manufactures 843 cubic meters of material. Calculate the amount of material left after using 300 cubic meters.
The amount of material left is 543 cubic meters.
To find the remaining material, we need to subtract the used material from the total amount: 843 - 300 = 543 cubic meters.
A container holds 843 cubic meters of volume. Another container holds a volume of 100 cubic meters. What would be the total volume if the containers are combined?
The total volume of the combined containers is 943 cubic meters.
Let’s add the volume of both containers: 843 + 100 = 943 cubic meters.
When the cube root of 843 is multiplied by 2, calculate the resultant value. How will this affect the cube of the new value?
2 × 9.438 = 18.876 The cube of 18.876 ≈ 6720.4
When we multiply the cube root of 843 by 2, it results in a significant increase in the volume because the cube increases exponentially.
Find ∛(1000 + 843).
∛(1000 + 843) = ∛1843 ≈ 12.243
As shown in the question ∛(1000 + 843), we can simplify that by adding them.
So, 1000 + 843 = 1843.
Then we use this step: ∛1843 ≈ 12.243 to get the answer.
