  • Here's how you do cube roots in your head! Avoid looking like Education Secretary Nicky Morgan who was stumped when asked to do a cube root: • Video
    Note: the starting number needs to be a perfect cube. So it's more of a magic trick: ask someone to cube a number and then you can deduce their original number quickly.

    I'll give you two interesting things I learned on my own. If you add every odd number starting with 1, no matter where you stop, you will have a perfect square. Also, if you wonder if a number, no matter how large it is, is divisible by 4, 8 16, 32, etc. take the last 2 numbers and if they are divisible by 4, the entire number is divisible by 4; take the last 3 number and, if they are divisible by 8, the entire number is divisible by 8, etc. I'm sure I'm not the first person to figure these things out but I was surprised when I learned them.

    • @reyhananiz5099
      @reyhananiz5099 2 года назад +7

      Also if the last digits are 0, it will be divisible too, like 500 is divisible by 4 because last 2 digits are zeroes, 5000 is divisible by 8 because last 3 digits are zeroes.

      @@user-yx4pb1zk2t I don't know about divisibility criterion. I just found it by accident one day. The square root thing I discovered when I was taking an online IQ test. It gave the following: "16, 25, 36 . . . What is the next number?" I looked and saw 16 + 9 = 25 and 25 + 11 = 36. My response was 49 which was correct but for the wrong reason. It didn't hit me that those numbers were perfect squares. I then followed the rule I came up with and found that it was correct.

    I remember doing this technique when taking a test back in highschool, way before I got into string physics and higher dimensions. I believe it was an exam actually, that consisted of 10 cube root equations to be solved via paper and pencil (show your work). I used this technique mentally, only writing down the table because I had to show work somehow. Couple of minutes I’m the first one done and my teacher is in awe. Feels good

I get here, find some guy posted a comment that was pretty relevant and I find two queens fighting. I just want to root cubes (aussie giggity intensifies). Can't we all just stop fighting, go home and root our cubes in peace... Together?
      At least it isn't Wednesday though. Never do a rottin' on a Wednesday though. Otherwise the snake will get in grandma's pudding and then all that's left is to unthaw the gold and then repackage it in used Mr. Noodle packages that have juuuuust a little bit of uncooked potassium. You know?

    If you need to take a cuberoot of a not perfect cube, you can do a trick similar to your square root video.
    This was using the approximate number plus the remainder/2. A small error as its actually the remainder minus the fraction squared that you should use. This follows from y=(x+c)^2 = x^2+2cx+c^2. ∆=y-x^2 and √y = x+c ~ x+∆/2.
    The cube root y = (x+c)^3 = x^3 +3x^2*c+3xc^2 + c^3 = x^3+c^3 +3cx(x+c)
    again ∆ = y - x^3 or ∆' = y - x^3 - c^3 = 3cx(x+c)
    note x+c = y is between x and x+1, you can guess which is closer or is easer to use.
    This gives:
    y^(1/3) = x+c ~ x + ∆ / (3*xy)
    example, with y = 300,000 you get x 60, ∆=(300,000-216,000) and c = 84k/3*60*70 ~ 7, so y ~ 67
    this also works with a negative ∆. y ~ 70 - 43k/(3*70*70) ~ 67
    alternatively, you can guestimate how y falls between x and x+1 with 300k between 216 and 343k (+84k and -43k), so roughly 2/3 between 60 and 70.

      It can be useful to have un idea of the size of the cube, comparing the last two or three digits with the cubes of the numbers from one to ten.

      I suspect she didn't want to answer because if she did people would ask her increasingly more difficult math questions. That being said some people really are that bad. An ex boss of mine spent 5 minutes looking for a calculator to work out 5+8. Another asked what I was doing when I used long addition on a piece of paper, I actually had to explain the concept.

      Grant H . 25 goes into 125 5 times, the square root of 25 is 5. 5x5x5 is 125. See?

      @GrantH2606 7 лет назад

      Trevor Mccord Never understood how you'd work out 25 goes into 125 5 times without having memorised it, to me it's just trial and error until I figure it out, no real method.
