We will learn the cube root concept to use it on other mathematical topics like algebra, mensuration, geometry, trigonometry, etc. So, it is as important as learning square roots. Let us now see how we can obtain the cube root value of 384, and its examples.
The cube root of 384 is the value which, when multiplied by itself three times (cubed), gives the original number 384.
The cube root of 384 is 7.26848237133. The cube root of 384 is expressed as β384 in radical form, where the “ β ” sign” is called the “radical” sign. In exponential form, it is written as (384)β . If “m” is the cube root of 384, then, m3=384. Let us find the value of “m”.
We can find cube roots of 384 through a method, named as, Halley’s Method. Let us see how it finds the result.
Now, what is Halley’s Method? It is an iterative method for finding cube roots of a given number N, such that, x3=N, where this method approximates the value of “x”.
Formula is βa≅ x((x3+2a) / (2x3+a)), where
a=given number whose cube root you are going to find
x=integer guess for the cubic root
Let us apply Halley’s method on the given number 384.
Step 1: Let a=384. Let us take x as 7, since 73=343 is the nearest perfect cube which is less than 384.
Step 2: Apply the formula. β384≅ 7((73+2×384) / (2(7)3+384)) = 7.27…
Hence, 7.27… is the approximate cubic root of 384.
Understanding common misconceptions or mistakes can make your calculations error free. So let us see how to avoid those from happening.
Find ((β768/ β384) Γ (β768/ β384) Γ (β768/ β384))
(β768/ β384) × (β768/ β384) × (β768/ β384)
= (β768× β768× β768) / (β384× β384× β384)
=((768)β
)3/ ((384)β
)3
=768/384
=2
Answer: 2
We solved and simplified the exponent part first using the fact that, β678=(96)β
and β384=(384)β
, then solved.
If y = β384, find yΒ²/ yβΆ
y=β384
⇒ y3/y6= (β384)3 / (β384)6
⇒ y3/y6= 384/ (384)2= 1/384
Answer: 1/384
(β384)3
=(3841/3)3
=384, and β(384)6=(3841/3)6=(384)2.
Using this, we found the value of y3/y6
Multiply β384 Γ β64 Γ β125
β384 × β64 × β125= 7.27 × 4 ×5= 145.4
Answer: 145.4
We know that the cubic root of 64 is 4 and the cubic root of 125 is 5, hence multiplying β125, β64 and β384.
What is β(100)βΆ + β(384)βΆ?
β(1006)+ β(384)6
= ((100)6))1/3 +((384)6)1/3
=(100)2 + (384)2
= 10000 + 147456
Answer: 147456
We solved and simplified the exponent part first using the fact that, β100=(100)β
and β384=(384)β
, then solved.
Find β(384+(-20)+(-21)).
β(384-20-21)
= β343
=7
Answer: 7
Simplified the expression, and found out the cubic root of the result.
2) The cube root of a negative number is also negative.
3) If the cube root of a number is a whole number, then that original number is said to be perfect cube
