Answer» (i) 250 250 = 25×100 By using cube root table 250 would be in column ∛10x against 25. We get, ∛250 = 6.3 ∴ the answer is 6.3 (ii) 5112 ∛5112 = ∛2×2×2×3×3×71 = ∛23×32×71 = 2 × ∛32 × ∛71 = 2 × ∛9 × ∛71 From cube root table we get, ∛9 = 2.080 ∛71 = 4.141 ∛5112 = 2 × ∛9 × ∛71 = 2 × 2.080 × 4.141 = 17.227 ∴ the answer is 17.227 (iii) 9800 ∛9800 = ∛98 × ∛100 From cube root table we get, ∛98 = 4.610 ∛100 = 4.642 ∛9800 = ∛98 × ∛100 = 4.610 × 4.642 = 21.40 ∴ the answer is 21.40 (iv) 732 ∛732 Now, We know that value of ∛732 will lie between ∛730 and ∛740 From cube root table we get, ∛730 = 9.004 ∛740 = 9.045 By using unitary method, Difference between the values (740 – 730 = 10) So, the difference in cube root values will be = 9.045 – 9.004 = 0.041 Difference between the values (732 – 730 = 2) So, the difference in cube root values will be = (0.041/10) ×2 = 0.008 ∛732 = 9.004+0.008 = 9.012 ∴ the answer is 9.012 (v) 7342 ∛7342 Now, We know that value of ∛7342 will lie between ∛7300 and ∛7400 From cube root table we get, ∛7300 = 19.39 ∛7400 = 19.48 By using unitary method, Difference between the values (7400 – 7300 = 100) So, the difference in cube root values will be = 19.48 – 19.39 = 0.09 Difference between the values (7342 – 7300 = 42) So, the difference in cube root values will be , = (0.09/100) × 42 = 0.037 ∛7342 = 19.39+0.037 = 19.427 ∴ the answer is 19.427 |
