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 0.175616 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, ∛0.175616 is written as 0.175616^(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 0.175616, then y^3 can be 0.175616. Since the cube root of 0.175616 is an exact value, we can write it as 0.56.
Finding the cube root of a number involves identifying the number that must be multiplied three times to result in the target number. Now, we will go through the different ways to find the cube root of 0.175616. The common methods we follow to find the cube root are given below: - Prime factorization method - Direct calculation - Estimation method - Halley's method To find the cube root of a number, we can use direct calculation since 0.175616 is a perfect cube.
Let's find the cube root of 0.175616 using direct calculation. The cube root of 0.175616 is 0.56 because: 0.56 × 0.56 × 0.56 = 0.175616 Thus, ∛0.175616 = 0.56.
Finding the perfect cube of a number without any errors can be a difficult task for students. This happens for many reasons. Here are a few mistakes students commonly make and the ways to avoid them:
Imagine you have a cube-shaped container with a total volume of 0.175616 cubic meters. Find the length of one side of the container equal to its cube root.
Side of the cube = ∛0.175616 = 0.56 meters
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 0.56 meters.
A company needs 0.175616 cubic meters of a substance for a project. If they already have 0.05 cubic meters, how much more do they need?
The company needs 0.125616 cubic meters more.
To find the additional amount needed, subtract the amount they have from the total required: 0.175616 - 0.05 = 0.125616 cubic meters.
A tank has a volume of 0.175616 cubic meters. If another tank with a volume of 0.1 cubic meters is added, what is the total volume?
The total volume of the combined tanks is 0.275616 cubic meters.
To find the total volume, add the volume of both tanks: 0.175616 + 0.1 = 0.275616 cubic meters.
When the cube root of 0.175616 is doubled, calculate the resultant value. How will this affect the cube of the new value?
2 × 0.56 = 1.12 The cube of 1.12 = 1.401728
Doubling the cube root of 0.175616 significantly increases the volume because the cube of the new value grows exponentially.
Find ∛(0.1 + 0.075616).
∛(0.1 + 0.075616) = ∛0.175616 ≈ 0.56
As shown in the question ∛(0.1 + 0.075616), we can simplify that by adding them: 0.1 + 0.075616 = 0.175616. Then, ∛0.175616 = 0.56 gives the answer.
Cube root: The number that is multiplied three times by itself to get the given number is the cube root of that number. Perfect cube: A number is a perfect cube when it is the product of multiplying a number three times by itself. For example, 0.56 × 0.56 × 0.56 = 0.175616, so 0.175616 is a perfect cube. Exponent: The exponent form of a number denotes the number of times a number can be multiplied by itself. In a^(1/3), 1/3 is the exponent which denotes the cube root of a. Radical sign: The symbol that is used to represent a root which is expressed as (∛). Exact number: A number that can be expressed without approximation or rounding is considered exact, such as the cube root of 0.175616, which is 0.56.
