Question 1:

Evaluate:
(i) (8)³
(ii) (15)³
(iii) (21)³
(iv) (60)³

Answer:

(i) (8)³ = $(8 \times 8 \times 8)$ = 512.
Thus, the cube of 8 is 512.

(iii) ${(\frac{1}{15})}^{3}$
(iv) ${(1 \frac{3}{10})}^{3}$

Answer:

(i) ${(\frac{4}{7})}^{3}$ = $(\frac{4}{7} \times \frac{4}{7} \times \frac{4}{7})$ = $(\frac{64}{343})$
Thus, the cube of $(\frac{4}{7})$ is $(\frac{64}{343})$ .

(ii) ${(\frac{10}{11})}^{3}$ = $(\frac{10}{11} \times \frac{10}{11} \times \frac{10}{11})$ = $(\frac{1000}{1331})$
Thus, the cube of $(\frac{10}{11})$ is $(\frac{1000}{1331})$ .(47)3
(iii) ${(\frac{1}{15})}^{3}$ = $(\frac{1}{15} \times \frac{1}{15} \times \frac{1}{15})$ = $(\frac{1}{3375})$

(iii) 343
(iv) 256
(v) 8000
(vi) 9261
(vii) 5324

Answer:

(i) 125
Resolving 125 into prime factors:
125 = 5 $\times$ 5 $\times$ 5
Here, one triplet is formed, which is $5^{3}$ . Hence, 125 can be expressed as the product of the triplets of 5.
Therefore, 125 is a perfect cube.

(ii) 243 is not a perfect cube.

(iii) 343
Resolving 125 into prime factors:
343 = 7 $\times$ 7 $\times$ 7
Here, one triplet is formed, which is $7^{3}$ . Hence, 343 can be expressed as the product of the triplets of 7.
Therefore, 343 is a perfect cube.

(iv) 256 is not a perfect cube.

(v) 8000
Resolving 8000 into prime factors:
8000 = 2 $\times$ 2 $\times$ 2 $\times$ 2 $\times$ 2 $\times$ 2 $\times$ 5 $\times$ 5 $\times$ 5
Here, three triplets are formed, which are 2³, 2³ and 5³. Hence, 8000 can be expressed as the product of the triplets of 2, 2 and 5, i.e. $2^{3}$ $\times$ $2^{3}$ $\times$ $5^{3}$ = $20^{3}$ .
Therefore, 8000 is a perfect cube.

(vi) 9261
Resolving 9261 into prime factors:
9261 = 3 $\times$ 3 $\times$ 3 $\times$ 7 $\times$ 7 $\times$ 7
Here, two triplets are formed, which are $3^{3}$ and $7^{3}$ . Hence, 9261 can be expressed as the product of the triplets of 3 and 7, i.e. $3^{3}$ $\times$ $7^{3}$ = $21^{3}$ .
Therefore, 9261 is a perfect cube.

(vii) 5324 is not a perfect cube.

(viii) 3375 .
Resolving 3375 into prime factors:
3375 = 3 $\times$ 3 $\times$ 3 $\times$ 5 $\times$ 5 $\times$ 5.
Here, two triplets are formed, which are $3^{3}$ and $5^{3}$ . Hence, 3375 can be expressed as the product of the triplets of 3 and 5, i.e. $3^{3}$ $\times$ $5^{3}$ = $15^{3}$ .
Therefore, 3375 is a perfect cube.

Which of the following are the cubes of odd numbers?
(i) 125
(ii) 343
(iii) 1728

Answer:

The cube of an odd number is an odd number. Therefore, 125, 343 and 9261 are the cubes of odd numbers.

125 = 5 $\times$ 5 $\times$ 5 = $5^{3}$

343 = 7 $\times$ 7 $\times$ 7 = $7^{3}$

(b) $\frac{- 8}{9}$
(c) $\frac{7}{9}$
(d) $\frac{8}{9}$

Answer:

(b) $\frac{- 8}{9}$
$\sqrt[3]{\frac{- 512}{729}}$ = $\frac{\sqrt[3]{- 512}}{\sqrt[3]{729}} = \frac{\sqrt[3]{(- 8) \times (- 8) \times (- 8)}}{\sqrt[3]{9 \times 9 \times 9}} = \frac{\sqrt[3]{{(- 8)}^{3}}}{\sqrt[3]{{(9)}^{3}}}$
$\sqrt[3]{\frac{- 512}{729}}$ = $\frac{- 8}{9}$
∴ $\sqrt[3]{\frac{- 512}{729}}$ = $\frac{- 8}{9}$

Question 7:

Tick (✓) the correct answer
By what least number should 648 be multiplied to get a perfect cube?
(a) 3
(b) 6
(c) 9
(d) 8

Answer:

(c) 9

648 = $2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 3 \times 3 \times 3 \times 3 = {(2)}^{3} \times {(3)}^{3} \times 3$
Therefore, to get a perfect cube, we need to multiply 648 by 9, i.e. $(3 \times 3)$ .

${(1 \frac{3}{10})}^{3} = ?$
(a) $1 \frac{27}{1000}$
(b) $2 \frac{27}{1000}$
(c) $2 \frac{197}{1000}$

Question 1:

Evaluate ${(1 \frac{2}{5})}^{3} .$

Answer:

${(1 \frac{2}{5})}^{3}$
${(1 \frac{2}{5})}^{3}$ = ${(\frac{7}{5})}^{3} = \frac{{(7)}^{3}}{{(5)}^{3}} = \frac{(7 \times 7 \times 7)}{(5 \times 5 \times 5)} = \frac{343}{125}$
∴ ${(1 \frac{2}{5})}^{3}$ = $\frac{343}{125}$

Question 2:

Evaluate $\sqrt[3]{4096} .$

Answer:

$\sqrt[3]{4096}$

By prime factorisation method:

$\sqrt[3]{4096}$ = $\sqrt[3]{2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2} = \sqrt[3]{{(2)}^{3} \times {(2)}^{3} \times {(2)}^{3} \times {(2)}^{3}}$
$\sqrt[3]{4096}$ = $(2) \times (2) \times (2) \times (2) = 16$ .

∴ $\sqrt[3]{4096}$ = $16$

Question 3:

Evaluate $\sqrt[3]{216 \times 343} .$

Answer:

$\sqrt[3]{216 \times 343}$
By prime factorisation:

$\sqrt[3]{216 \times 343}$ = $\sqrt[3]{216} \times \sqrt[3]{343} = \sqrt[3]{2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 3 \times 3 \times 3} \times \sqrt[3]{7 \times 7 \times 7} = \sqrt[3]{{(2)}^{3} \times {(3)}^{3}} \times \sqrt[3]{{(7)}^{3}}$
$\sqrt[3]{216 \times 343}$ = $(2) \times (3) \times (7) = 42$

∴ $\sqrt[3]{216 \times 343}$ = $42$

Question 4:

Evaluate $\sqrt[3]{\frac{- 64}{125}} .$

Answer:

$\sqrt[3]{\frac{- 64}{125}}$
By prime factorisation method:

$\sqrt[3]{\frac{- 64}{125}}$ = $\frac{\sqrt[3]{- 64}}{\sqrt[3]{125}} = \frac{\sqrt[3]{(- 4) \times (- 4) \times (- 4)}}{\sqrt[3]{5 \times 5 \times 5}} = \frac{\sqrt[3]{{(- 4)}^{3}}}{\sqrt[3]{{(5)}^{3}}}$
$\sqrt[3]{\frac{- 64}{125}}$ = $\frac{- 4}{5}$
∴ $\sqrt[3]{\frac{- 64}{125}}$ = $\frac{- 4}{5}$

${(1 \frac{3}{4})}^{3} = ?$
(a) $1 \frac{27}{64}$
(b) $2 \frac{27}{64}$
(c) $5 \frac{23}{64}$
(d) none of these

Answer:

(c) $5 \frac{23}{64}$
${(1 \frac{3}{4})}^{3}$ = ${(\frac{7}{4})}^{3} = \frac{{(7)}^{3}}{{(4)}^{3}} = \frac{7 \times 7 \times 7}{4 \times 4 \times 4} = \frac{343}{64}$
${(1 \frac{3}{4})}^{3}$ = $\frac{343}{64}$ = $5 \frac{23}{64}$
∴ ${(1 \frac{3}{4})}^{3}$ = $5 \frac{23}{64}$

Which of the following numbers is a perfect cube?
(a) 121
(b) 169
(c) 196
(d) 216

Answer:

(d) 216

$121 = 11 \times 11 169 = 13 \times 13 196 = 7 \times 7 \times 2 \times 2$

216 = $2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 3 \times 3 \times 3 = {(2)}^{3} \times {(3)}^{3} = {(6)}^{3}$

216 = 6³
Hence, 216 is a perfect cube.

$\sqrt[3]{216 \times 64} = ?$
(a) 64
(b) 32
(c) 24
(d) 36

Answer:

(c) 24

$\sqrt[3]{216 \times 64}$ = $\sqrt[3]{216} \times \sqrt[3]{64} = \sqrt[3]{2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 3 \times 3 \times 3} \times \sqrt[3]{2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2}$
$\sqrt[3]{216 \times 64}$ = $\sqrt[3]{{(2)}^{3} \times {(3)}^{3}} \times \sqrt[3]{{(2)}^{3} \times {(2)}^{3}} = \sqrt[3]{{(6)}^{3}} \times \sqrt[3]{{(4)}^{3}}$
$\sqrt[3]{216 \times 64}$ = $6 \times 4 = 24$
∴ $\sqrt[3]{216 \times 64}$ = 24

$\sqrt[3]{\frac{- 343}{729}} = ?$
(a) $\frac{7}{9}$
(b) $\frac{- 7}{9}$
(c) $\frac{- 9}{7}$
(d) $\frac{9}{7}$

Answer:

(b) $\frac{- 7}{9}$
By prime factorisation:
$\sqrt[3]{\frac{- 343}{729}}$ = $\frac{\sqrt[3]{- 343}}{\sqrt[3]{729}} = \frac{\sqrt[3]{(- 7) \times (- 7) \times (- 7)}}{\sqrt[3]{3 \times 3 \times 3 \times 3 \times 3 \times 3}} = \frac{\sqrt[3]{{(- 7)}^{3}}}{\sqrt[3]{{(3)}^{3} \times {(3)}^{3}}}$
$\sqrt[3]{\frac{- 343}{729}}$ = $\frac{\sqrt[3]{{(- 7)}^{3}}}{\sqrt[3]{{(9)}^{3}}}$ = $\frac{- 7}{9}$

∴ $\sqrt[3]{\frac{- 343}{729}}$ = $\frac{- 7}{9}$

By what least number should 324 be multiplied to get a perfect cube?
(a) 12
(b) 14
(c) 16
(d) 18

Answer:

(d) 18

324 = $2 \times 2 \times 3 \times 3 \times 3 \times 3 = 2 \times 2 \times 3 \times {(3)}^{3}$

Therefore, to show that the given number is the product of three triplets, we need to multiply 324 by $(2 \times 3 \times 3)$ .
In other words, we need to multiply 324 by 18 to make it a perfect cube.

$\frac{\sqrt[3]{128}}{\sqrt[3]{250}} = ?$
(a) $\frac{3}{5}$
(b) $\frac{4}{5}$
(c) $\frac{2}{5}$
(d) none of these

Answer:

(b) $\frac{4}{5}$

Resolving the numerator and the denominator into prime factors:

$\frac{\sqrt[3]{128}}{\sqrt[3]{250}} = \sqrt[3]{\frac{128}{250}} = \sqrt[3]{\frac{2 \times 8 \times 8}{2 \times 5 \times 5 \times 5}} = \sqrt[3]{\frac{2 \times 8 \times 8}{2 \times 5 \times 5 \times 5}} = \sqrt[3]{\frac{8 \times 8}{5 \times 5 \times 5}} = \sqrt[3]{\frac{{(2)}^{3} \times {(2)}^{3}}{{(5)}^{3}}} = \frac{2 \times 2}{5} = \frac{4}{5}$
