Making use of the cube root table, find the cube root of the following (correct to three decimal places):(i) 250(ii) 5112(iii) 9800(iv) 732(v) 7342 

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
