  • 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 роки тому +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?

      +MindYourDecisions So how to calculate the cube root of a number which is not a perfect cube?
      And what if the number _is_ a perfect cube, but it has more than 6 digits?
      I know some people (e.g. Shakuntala Devi) who can perform such calculations mentally, and tell the sequence of decimal digits to whatever precision you ask them for, but they don't reveal how they do it :/

      How can I know the perfect cube it or not? - to apply this method... And what practical application, if I can not know a priori, the perfect cube it or not?

      Y10Q Be nice, he was asking a question. Not everyone knows this stuff. I'm new to this method.

      @@theweirdwolf1877 I guess different countries’ math teaching speed is different. I’m in Canada and I moved there from Hong Kong, and Hong Kong math is taught 2 years faster than Canada math, so I’ve already learned most stuff in grade 8 and I was supposed to learn cube roots in Hong Kong grade 8
