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 783 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, ∛783 is written as 783(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 783, then y³ can be 783. Since the cube root of 783 is not an exact value, we can write it as approximately 9.224.
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 783. The common methods we follow to find the cube root are given below:
To find the cube root of a non-perfect cube number, we often follow Halley’s method. Since 783 is not a perfect cube, we use Halley’s method.
Let's find the cube root of 783 using Halley’s method.
The formula is: ∛a ≅ x((x³ + 2a) / (2x³ + a))
where:
a = the number for which the cube root is being calculated
x = the nearest perfect cube
Substituting, a = 783; x = 9
∛a ≅ 9((9³ + 2 × 783) / (2 × 9³ + 783))
∛783 ≅ 9((729 + 1566) / (1458 + 783))
∛783 ≅ 9.224
The cube root of 783 is approximately 9.224.
Finding the perfect cube of a number without any errors can be a difficult task for the 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 box that has a total volume of 783 cubic centimeters. Find the length of one side of the box equal to its cube root.
Side of the cube = ∛783 = 9.224 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 9.224 units.
A company manufactures 783 cubic meters of material. Calculate the amount of material left after using 200 cubic meters.
The amount of material left is 583 cubic meters.
To find the remaining material, we need to subtract the used material from the total amount: 783 - 200 = 583 cubic meters.
A container holds 783 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 883 cubic meters.
Let’s add the volume of both containers: 783 + 100 = 883 cubic meters.
When the cube root of 783 is multiplied by 2, calculate the resultant value. How will this affect the cube of the new value?
2 × 9.224 = 18.448 The cube of 18.448 = 6,283.95
When we multiply the cube root of 783 by 2, it results in a significant increase in the volume because the cube increases exponentially.
Find ∛(400 + 383).
∛(400 + 383) = ∛783 ≈ 9.224
As shown in the question ∛(400 + 383), we can simplify that by adding them.
So, 400 + 383 = 783.
Then we use this step: ∛783 ≈ 9.224 to get the answer.
