Question 2: Write the cubes of all natural numbers between 1 and 10 and verify the following statements:
(i) Cubes of all odd natural numbers are odd.
(ii) Cubes of all even natural numbers are even.

Answer 2: The cubes of natural numbers between 1 and 10 are listed and classified in the following table.
We can classify all natural numbers as even or odd number; therefore, to check whether the cube of a natural number is even or odd, it is sufficient to check its divisibility by 2.
If the number is divisible by 2, it is an even number, otherwise it will an odd number.
(i) From the above table, it is evident that cubes of all odd natural numbers are odd.
(ii) From the above table, it is evident that cubes of all even natural numbers are even. 

Number

Question 3: Observe the following pattern:
                13 = 1
        13 + 23 = (1 + 2)2
13 + 23 + 33 = (1 + 2 + 3)2 

Write the next three rows and calculate the value of 13 + 2+ 33 + ... + 9+ 103 by the above pattern. 

Answer 3: Extend the pattern as follows: 


 
                                  13=1
                            13+23=(1+2)2                     13+23+33=(1+2+3)2              13+23+33+43=(1+2+3+4)2       13+23+33+43+53=(1+2+3+4+5)213+23+33+43+53+63=(1+2+3+4+5+6)2

Now, from the above pattern, the required value is given by: 

13+23+33+43+53+63+73+83+93+103=(1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+10)2=552=302513+23+33+43+53+63+73+83+93+103=1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+102=552=30Thus, the required value is 3025.

It is evident that the prime factors of 243000 cannot be grouped into triples of equal factors such that no factor is left over. Therefore, 243000 is a not perfect cube. However, if the number is divided by (3×3=93×3=9), the factors can be grouped into triples of equal factors such that no factor is left over.
Thus, 243000 should be divided by 9 to make it a perfect cube.

Question 13: Prove that if a number is trebled then its cube is 27 times the cube of the given number.

Answer 13: Let us consider a number n. Then its cube would be n3n3.
If the number n is trebled, i.e., 3n, we get:
(3n)3=33×n3=27n33n3=33×n3=27n3
It is evident that the cube of 3n is 27 times of the cube of n.
Hence, the statement is proved. 

Question 14: What happens to the cube of a number if the number is multiplied by
(i) 3?
(ii) 4?
(iii) 5?

Answer 14: (i) Let us consider a number n. Its cube would be n3n3. If n is multiplied by 3, it becomes 3n.
Let us now find the cube of 3nwe get:
(3n)3=33×n3=27n33n3=33×n3=27n3
Therefore, the cube of 3n is 27 times of the cube of n.
Thus, if a number is multiplied by 3, its cube is 27 times of the cube of that number.
(ii) Let us consider a number n. Its cube would be n3n3. If n is multiplied by 4, it becomes 4n.
Let us now find the cube of 4nwe get:
(4n)3=43×n3=64n34n3=43×n3=64n3
Therefore, the cube of 4n is 64 times of the cube of n.
Thus, if a number is multiplied by 4, its cube is 64 times of the cube of that number.
(iii) Let us consider a number n. Its cube would be n3n3. If the number n is multiplied by 5, it becomes 5n.
Let us now find the cube of 4nwe get:
(5n)3=53×n3=125n35n3=53×n3=125n3
Therefore, the cube of 5n is 125 times of the cube of n.
Thus, if a number is multiplied by 5, its cube is 125 times of the cube of that number.

FAQs on RD Sharma Solutions for Class 8 Math Chapter 4 - Cubes and Cube Roots (Part-1) - RD Sharma Solutions for Class 8 Mathematics

1. What is the formula to find the volume of a cube?
Ans. The formula to find the volume of a cube is V = (side)^3, where V represents the volume and side represents the length of one side of the cube.
2. How can I find the cube root of a number?
Ans. To find the cube root of a number, you can use the prime factorization method. Prime factorize the number and group the prime factors in sets of three. The product of the prime factors in each set will give you the cube root of the number.
3. What is the difference between a perfect cube and a non-perfect cube?
Ans. A perfect cube is a number that can be expressed as the cube of an integer. For example, 8 is a perfect cube because it can be expressed as 2^3. On the other hand, a non-perfect cube is a number that cannot be expressed as the cube of an integer. For example, 10 is a non-perfect cube.
4. Can a cube have a decimal side length?
Ans. No, a cube cannot have a decimal side length. The side length of a cube is always a whole number. Cubes with decimal side lengths are not considered cubes, but rather cuboids.
5. How can I determine if a number is a perfect cube without calculating its cube root?
Ans. To determine if a number is a perfect cube without calculating its cube root, you can check if the number is divisible by the cubes of prime numbers. If the number is divisible by the cubes of prime numbers, then it is a perfect cube.
