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 -5832 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, ∛-5832 is written as (-5832)^(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 -5832, then y^3 can be -5832. The cube root of -5832 is -18, since (-18) × (-18) × (-18) = -5832.
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 -5832. The common methods we follow to find the cube root are given below: -
To find the cube root of a perfect cube, we often follow the prime factorization method.
Since -5832 is a perfect cube, we use the prime factorization method.
Let's find the cube root of -5832 using the prime factorization method.
Write -5832 as a product of its prime factors:
-5832 = -1 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 3 × 3 × 3
To find the cube root, group the prime factors in triples: ∛(-5832) = ∛((-1) × (2 × 2 × 2) × (3 × 3 × 3)) × 3
∛(-5832)
= -1 × 2 × 3
= -18
Therefore, the cube root of -5832 is -18.
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 sculpture that has a total volume of -5832 cubic centimeters. Find the length of one side of the sculpture, which is equal to its cube root.
Side of the cube = ∛-5832 = -18 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 -18 units.
A company manufactures -5832 cubic meters of material. Calculate the amount of material left after using -18 cubic meters.
The amount of material left is -5814 cubic meters.
To find the remaining material, we need to subtract the used material from the total amount: -5832 - (-18) = -5814 cubic meters.
A container holds -5832 cubic meters of volume. Another container holds a volume of 18 cubic meters. What would be the total volume if the containers are combined?
The total volume of the combined containers is -5814 cubic meters.
Explanation: Let’s add the volume of both containers:
-5832 + 18 = -5814 cubic meters.
When the cube root of -5832 is multiplied by 2, calculate the resultant value. How will this affect the cube of the new value?
2 × (-18) = -36 The cube of -36 = -46656
When we multiply the cube root of -5832 by 2, it results in a new value. The cube of this new value shows how the volume increases exponentially in magnitude but remains negative.
Find ∛(-5832 + 5832).
∛(0) = 0
As shown in the question ∛(-5832 + 5832), we can simplify that by adding them.
So, -5832 + 5832 = 0.
Then the cube root of 0 is simply 0.
