CBSE Class 8 Maths Chapter 7 Cube and Cube Roots

Learning Outcomes

  • (i) Calculating the cubes of non-zero numbers
  • (ii) Finding the relation between unit digit of a number and its cube.
  • (iii) Calculating the cube roots using different methods.

Important Keywords

  • Cubes: The cube of a number is that number raised to the power 3. If x is a number, then x3 = x × x × x.
  • Cubes root: The cube root of a number x is the number whose cube is x. 

More Keywords

Cubes:

1. Cube of a number: The result when a number is raised to the power of 3.

Example: The cube of 2 is \(2^3 = 2 \times 2 \times 2 = 8\).

2. Perfect cubes: Numbers that are the result of cubing a whole number.

Example: 8, 27, 64 are perfect cubes.

3. Cubic numbers: Numbers that can be represented as \(a^3\) for some integer \(a\).

Example: 125 is a cubic number since \(5^3 = 125\).

4. Cube of a negative integer: The result when a negative number is raised to the power of 3.

Example: The cube of \(-3\) is \((-3)^3 = -3 \times -3 \times -3 = -27\).

5. Volume of a cube: The amount of space occupied by a cube, calculated as \(side \times side \times side\).

Example: If the side length of a cube is 4 units, its volume is \(4 \times 4 \times 4 = 64\) cubic units.

Cube Roots:

1. Cube root of a number: A value that, when raised to the power of 3, gives the original number.

Example: The cube root of 27 is \(\sqrt[3]{27} = 3\) since \(3^3 = 27\).

2. Estimating cube roots: Approximating the value of a cube root.

Example: Estimating \(\sqrt[3]{18}\) could yield an approximate value of 2 because \(2^3 = 8\) is close to 18.

3. Cube root notation: Represented as \(\sqrt[3]{a}\), where \(a\) is the number for which the cube root is being calculated.

Example: \(\sqrt[3]{64}\) represents the cube root of 64.

4. Cube root of fractions and decimals: Calculating the cube root of fractional or decimal numbers.

Example: \(\sqrt[3]{0.125} = 0.5\) since \(0.5^3 = 0.125\).

5. Cube root of a perfect cube: Finding the cube root of a number that is a perfect cube.

Example: The cube root of 125 is \(\sqrt[3]{125} = 5\) since \(5^3 = 125\).

6. Solving cube root equations: Finding the value(s) that satisfy equations involving cube roots.

Example: Solving the equation \(\sqrt[3]{x} = 4\) gives \(x = 64\) as the cube root of 64 is 4.

Important Facts

  • A natural number n is a perfect cube if n = m3 for some natural number m.
  • The cube of an even natural number is even.
  • The cube of an odd natural number is odd.
  • The cube of a negative number is always negative.
  • Cubes of the numbers ending with the digits 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 end with digits 0, 1, 8, 1, 7, 5, 6, 3, 2, 9 respectively. Here, cubes of numbers ending with digits 0, 1, 4, 5, 6 and 9 end with same digits.
  • Cubes of the number ending with digit 2 ends in 8 or cube of the number ending with digit 8 ends in 2.
  • Cube of the number ending with digit 3 ends in 7 and cube of the number ending with digit 7 ends in 3.
