How would you evaluate the expression $( rac{ ext{cube root of } 125})^3 + 21$?
How would you evaluate the expression $( rac{ ext{cube root of } 125})^3 + 21$?
- 25 + 21 = 46
- 125 - 21 = 104
- 100 + 21 = 121
- 125 + 21 = 146 (correct)

Cube root
Cube root
A number that, when multiplied by itself three times, equals a given number. For example, the cube root of 8 is 2 because 2 x 2 x 2 = 8.
Perfect cube
Perfect cube
A number that results from cubing an integer. In other words, it's the product of an integer multiplied by itself three times. For example, 8 is a perfect cube because 2 x 2 x 2 = 8.

Study Notes
Cube Roots
- A cube root of a number is a number that, when multiplied by itself three times, equals the given number.
- A perfect cube is a number that can be written as the cube of an integer.
- The symbol ∛ represents a cube root.
Finding Cube Roots
- To find the cube root of a number, determine which integer, when cubed, results in the given number.
- Cubing a number and finding its cube root are inverse operations.
Evaluating Expressions Involving Cube Roots

- Follow the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS).
- Substitute given values for variables.
- Simplify the expression using multiplication and addition/subtraction.
Real-Life Application: Baseball Display Case
- Volume of a cube: V = s³ (where s is the edge length)
- Surface area of a cube: S = 6s²
- Example: A baseball display case with a volume of 125 cubic inches has an edge length of 5 inches. The surface area is 150 square inches.
