Exercise 4.3
1. Question

Find the cube roots of the following numbers by successive subtraction of numbers:

1, 7, 19, 37, 61, 91, 127, 169, 217, 271, 331, 397,….

(i) 64

(ii) 512

(iii) 1728

Answer

(i) 64

We have,

64 – 1 = 63

63 – 7 = 56

56 – 19 =37

37 – 37 = 0

∵ Subtraction is performed 4 times.

Hence, cube root of 64 is 4.

(ii) 512

We have,

512 – 1 = 511
511 – 7 = 504

504 – 19 = 485

485 – 37 = 448

448 – 61 = 387

387 – 91 = 296

296 – 127 = 169

169 – 169 = 0

∵ Subtraction is performed 8 times.

Hence, cube root of 512 is 8.

(iii) 1728

We have,

1728 – 1 = 1727

1727 – 7 = 1720

1720 – 19 = 1701

1701 – 37 = 1664

1664 – 91 = 1512

1512 – 127 = 1385

1385 – 169 = 1216

1216 – 217 = 999

999 – 271 = 728

728 – 331 = 397

397 – 397 = 0

∵ Subtraction is performed 12 times.

Hence, cube root of 1728 is 12.

2. Question

Using the method of successive subtraction examine whether or not the following numbers are perfect
cubes:

(i) 130

(ii) 345

(iii) 792

(iv) 1331

Answer

(i) 130

Applying subtraction method, We have,

130 – 1 = 129

129 – 7 = 122

122 – 19 = 103

103 – 37 = 66
66 – 61 = 5

∵ Next number to be subtracted is 91, which is greter than 5

Hence, 130 is not a perfect cube.

(ii) 345

Applying subtraction method, We have,

345 – 1 = 344

344 – 7 = 337

337 – 19 = 318

318 – 37 = 281

281 – 61 = 220

220 – 91 = 129

129 – 127 = 2

∵ Next number to be subtracted is 169, which is greter than 2

Hence, 345 is not a perfect cube

(iii) 792

Applying subtraction method, We have,

792 – 1 = 791

791 – 7 = 784

784 – 19 = 765

765 – 37 = 728

728 – 61 = 667

667 – 91 = 576

576 – 127 = 449

449 – 169 = 280

280 – 217 = 63

∵ Next number to be subtracted is 271, which is greter than 63

Hence, 792 is not a perfect cube

(iv) 1331

Applying subtraction method, We have,

1331 – 1 = 1330

1330 – 7 = 1323

1323 – 19 = 1304

1304 – 37 = 1267

1267 – 61 = 1206

1206 – 91 = 1115

1115 – 127 = 988

988 – 169 = 819

602 – 271 = 331

331 – 331 = 0

∵ Subtraction is performed 11 times.

Hence, 1331 is a perfect cube

3. Question

Find the smallest number that must be subtracted from those of the numbers in question 2 which are not
perfect cubes, to make them perfect cubes. What are the corresponding cube roots?

Answer

In previous question there are three numbers which are not perfect cubes.

i) 130

Apply subtraction method,

130 – 1 = 129

129 – 7 = 122

122 – 19 = 103

103 – 37 = 66

66 – 61 = 5

∵ Next number to be subtracted is 91, which is greter than 5

Hence, 130 is not a perfect cube. So, to make it perfect cube we subtract 5 from it.

130 – 5 = 125 (which is a perfect cube of 5)

ii) 345

Apply subtraction method,

345 – 1 = 344

344 – 7 = 337

337 – 19 = 318

318 – 37 = 281

281 – 61 = 220

220 – 91 = 129

129 – 127 = 2

∵ Next number to be subtracted is 169, which is greter than 2

Hence, 345 is not a perfect cube. So, to make it a perfect cube we subtract 2 from it.

345 – 2 = 343 (which is a perfect cube of 7)

iii) 792

Apply subtraction method,

792 – 1 = 791

791 – 7 = 784

784 – 19 = 765

765 – 37 = 728
728 – 61 = 667

667 – 91 = 576

576 – 127 = 449

449 – 169 = 280

280 – 217 = 63

∵ Next number to be subtracted is 271, which is greter than 63

Hence, 792 is not a perfect cube. So, to make it a perfect cube we subtract 63 from it.

792 – 63 = 729 (which is a perfect cube of 9)

5. Question

Find the smallest number which when multiplied with 3600 will make the product a perfect cube. Further,
find the cube root of the product.

Answer

First we find out the prime factors of 3600,

3600 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 5 × 5 = 23 × 32 × 52 × 2

∵ only one triples is formed and three factors remained ungrouped in triples.

Hence, 3600 is not a perfect cube.

To make it a perfect cube we have to multiply it by ( 2 × 2 × 3 × 5) = 60

3600 × 60 = 216000 ( which is a perfect cube of 60)

6. Question

Multiply 210125 by the smallest number so that the product is a perfect cube. Also, find out the cube root of

∵ one triples remained incomplete, hence 210125 is not a perfect cube.

And the product become:

210125 × 41 = 8615125 = 5 × 5 × 5 × 41 × 41 × 41

Cube root of product =

7. Question

Exercise 4.4
1. Question

Find the cube roots of each of the following integers:

(i)-125 (ii) -5832

(iii)-2744000 (iv) -753571

(v) -32768

Answer

(i) We have,

Cube root of -125 =

(ii) We have,

Cube root of -5832 =

So to find out the cube root of 5832, we will use the mehod of unit digits.

Let’s take number 5832.

Unit digit = 2

So unit digit in the cube root of 5832 = 8

After striking out the units, tens and hundreds digits of 5832,

Now we left with 5 only.

As we know that 1 is the Largest number whose cube is less than or equals to 5.

So,

The tens digit of the cube root of 5832 is 1.

(iii) We have,

We will use the method of factorization to find out the cube root of 2744000

Factorizing 2744000 into prime factors,

We get,

2744000 = 2×2×2×2×2×2×5×5×5×7×7×7

Now group the factors into triples of equal factors, we get,

2744000 = (2×2×2) ×(2×2×2) ×(5×5×5) ×(7×7×7)

As we can see that all the prime factors of 2744000 can be grouped in to triples of equal factors and no
factor is left over.

Now take one factor from each group and by multiplying we get,

2×2×5×7 = 140

So we can say that 2744000 is a cube of 140

(iv) We have,

By using unit digit method,

Let’s take Number = 753571

Unit digit = 1

So unit digit in the cube root of 753571 = 1

After striking out the units, tens and hundreds digits of 753571,

Now we left with 753.

As we know that 9 is the Largest number whose cube is less than or equals to 753(93<753<103).

So,

The tens digit of the cube root of 753571 is 9.

(v) We have,

By using unit digit method, we will find out the cube root of 32768,

Let’s take Number = 32768

Unit digit = 8

So unit digit in the cube root of 32768 = 2

After striking out the units, tens and hundreds digits of 32768,

Now we left with 32.

As we know that 9 is the Largest number whose cube is less than or equals to 32(33<32<43).

So,

The tens digit of the cube root of 32768 is 3.

The volume of a cubical box is 474. 552 cubic metres. Find the length of each side of the box.

Answer

Given,

Volume of a cube = 474.552 cubic metres

V = 83,

S = side of the cube

So,

83 = 474.552 cubic metres

=8=
