CUBES AND CUBE ROOTS

CUBES

Cube of a Number : For a given number y, we define cube of y = y x y x y denoted by y3

e.g. 23= 2x2x2 =8 Thus cube of 2 is 8

Perfect Cube : A natural nuber is said to be a perfect cube it it is the cube of some natural number.
For e.g. - 13= 1, 23=8, 33= 27, 43= 64 etc
Thus - 8, 27, 64 etc are perfect cubes
Test : A given natural number is a perfect cube if it can be expressed as the products of triplets of euqal
factors.
Cubes of Negative Integers : The cube of a negeative integer is always negetaive.
Properties of Cubs of Numbers :
(i) The cube of every even number is even.
(ii) The cube of every odd number is odd.
CUBE ROOTS
Cube Root : The cube root of a number is that number whose cube gives x. We denote the cube root of x
by 3 x .
for eg.is 2x2x2 =8  3 8 =2
Method of finding the cube Root of a Given Number By Factorisation
Step-1 Express the given number as the product of primes
Step-2 Make groups in triplets of the same prime.
Step-3 Find the products of primes, choosing one from each triplet.
Step-4 This product is the required cube root of the given number
Example- Evalutae 3 216
We have 216= 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 3

COMPOUND INTEREST 5

Interest : Interest is the extra Money paid by institutions like banks or post offices on Money deposited (kept)
with them. Interest is also paid by people when they borrow Money.
Compound Interest : After a certain specified period the difference between the amount and the Money
borrowed is called the Compound interest.
CI= A-P
Calculating compound interest by using formula
R n
Case 1 - When the interest is compounded annually then A= P(1+ )
100
where P = principal, R% rate and time =n years per annum

Case2 - When the interest is compounded but rates are different for different years

Let principal = P. time = 2 years, and let ther rates of interest be p% p.a. during the first year and q% p.a.
during the second year.
p q
Then amount after 2 years 2 { px (1+ ) x(1+ )}
100 100
(This formula may similarly be extended for any number of years)

Case 3 - When interest is compounded annually but time is a fraction

3
3 R 2
For e.g. suppose time is 2 years. Then amount = p x( 1+ ) x (1+5 x R )
5 100
100
Applications of Compound interest formula
In each of the following situations we use the CI formula :
(i) Increase ( or decrease) in population
(ii) The growth of bacteria when the rate of growth is known
(iii) Depreciation in the values of machines, etc at a given rate.
Note : For decrease (or depreciated value), we use the formula :
R n
Decreased value (or depreciated value) = p(1- )
100
Interest compound Half -yearly

Let principal = p, rate R% per annum , time =n year suppose that the intetest is compounded half-yearly.
R R
Then, rate = ( )% per half -year, time =(2n) half years, and amount = px (1+ )2n
2 2x100
Compound interest = amount - principal

Interest compounded quarterly

4
Let principal = p, rate = R% per annum, time = n years suppose that the interest is compounded quarterly
R R
Then rate =( )% per quarter , time =(4n) quarters, and amount p x (1+ ) 4n
4 4x100
Compound interest =(amount) -(principal)
Exercise - 11A

1. Find the compound interest on 2500 for 2 years at 10% per annum compounded annually.
Solution :
Given Principal = 2500, Time = 2 years, Rate = 10%
Interest for the first year
2500 x 10x1
=
100
= 500
Amount at the end of the first year
= 2500 +250 = 2750
Interest for the Second year
2750 x 10 x 1
= = 275
100
Amount at the end of the second year
= (2750 +275) = 3025
So, Compound Interest = 3025 - 2500 = 525

6. Manoj deposited a sum of 64000 in a post office for 3 years, compounded annually at 7 %
2
per annum.What amount will he get on maturity?
Solution :
1 15
Given Principal = 64000, Time = 3 years, Rate = 7 2 % = 2 %
Interest for the first year
64000 x 15 x 1
= 100 x 2
= 4800
Amount at the end of the first year
= 64000 +4800 = 68800
Interest for the Second year
68800 x 15 x 1
= = 5160
100 x 2
Amount at the end of the second year
= 68800 +5160
= 73960
Interest for the third year
73960 x 15 x 1
= 100 x 2 = 5547

Amount at the end of the third year

5
 = 73960+5547= 79507

So, he will get 79507on maturity.

Exercise - 11B

By using the formula,find the amount and compound interest on:

1. 6000 for 2 years at 9% per annum compounded annually.
Solution :
Given Principal = 6000, Time = 2 years, Rate = 9%
9 2
Amount = 6000 x ( 1+ )
100
109 109
= 6000 x x
100 100
= 7128.60
So, Amount = 7128.60
and compound interest = 7128.60-6000 = 1128.60
5. 62500 for 2 years 6 months at 12% per annum compounded annually.
Solution :
1
Given Principal = 62500, Rate = 12%, Time = 2 years 6 months = 2 years.
2
12 2 1
Amount = 625000 x ( 1+ ) x ( 1+ x 12 )
100 2
100
112 112 106
= 625000 x x x
100 100 100
= 83,104
So, Amount = 83,104 and compound interest = 83104- 62500 = 20,604

10.Sunhalaxmi took a loan of 18000 from Surya Finance to purchase a TV Set. If the company
charges compound interest at 12% per annum during the second year, how much will she
have to pay after 2 years?
Solution :
1
Given P = 18000, p = 12%, q = 12 %
2
12 25
Amount =18000 x ( 1+ ) x ( 1+ )
100 200

112 225
= 18000 x x
100 200
= 22,680
So, Amount after 2 years = 22,680

12.Abhay borrowed of 16000 at 7 % per annum simple interest. On the same day, he lent it to
2
Gurmeet at the same rate but compunded annually. What does he gain at the end of 2 years?
Solution :

6
 1
Given P = 16000, Rate = 7 % and time = 2 years
2
16000 x 15 x 2
Simple Interest =
100 x 2

= 2400

Amount including the simple interest

= 16000 + 2400= 18,400
Now, Amount including the compound interest
15 2
= 16000 (1 + )
200
215 215
= 16000 x x
200 200
= 18490
So, Abhay will gain at the end of 2 years = 18490- 18400
= 90

14.The difference between the compound interest and the simple interest on a certain sum for 2
years at 6% per annum is 90. Find the sum.
Solution :
Let the sum be P
Px6x2 3P
Then, SI = =

So, CI - SI = 90
309 P 3P
 - = 90
2500 25
309 P -300P
 = 90
2500
 9P = 225000
225000
 P= = 25000

14.A sum of money amounts to 10240 in 2 years at 6 2 % per annum, compound annually. Find
the sum. 3

Solution :
Let the sum be P

So, Amount = 10240

20 2
P (1 + ) = 10240
300
2 2
 = P (1 + ) = 10240
30
32 32
 P x x = 10240
30 30

10240 x 30 x 30
 P=
32 x 32
 P 9000
Hence, the required sum is 9000

18.At what rate per cent per annum will 4000 amount to 4410 in 2 years when compounded
annually?
Solution :
Given P = 4000, A = 4410, Time = 2 years

Let Rate be r %

Now, A = 4410
r 2
 4000 x (1+ ) = 4410
100
100+r 2 4410
 ( ) =
100 4000
100+r 2 441 21
 ( ) = 400 = ( )2
100 20
2100
 100+r = = 105
20
 r = 105 -100 =5
So, Rate is 5% p.a.

21.In how many years will 6250 amount to 7290 at 8% per annum, compounded annually?
Solution :
Given P = 4000, A = 7290, R = 8%

Amount = 7290
8 n
 6250 x (1+ ) = 7290
100

8
 2 n 7290
 ( 1+ ) =
25 6250
27 n 27
 ( ) = ( )2
25 25
 n=2

 r = 105 -100 =5
Hence, the required time is 2 years.

24.The population of a city was 120000 in the year 2013. During next year it increased by 6% but
due to an epidemic it decreased by 5% in the following year. What was its population in the
year 2015.
Solution :
Population in 2015 is
6 5
 120000 x (1+ ) x (1 - )
100 100
53 19
 120000 x x

 = 1, 20, 840

30.The value of a machine depreciates at the rate of 10% per annum. It was purchased 3 years
ago. If its present value is 291600, for how much was it purchased?
Solution :
Let price of machine three years ago be P

Given present value of machine = 291600

10 3
 P x (1- ) = 291600
100
9 9 9
 P x x x = 291600
10 10 10
729
 Px = 291600
1000
2916000 x 1000
 P=

1. Construct a parallelogram ABCD in which AB= 5.2cm, BC= 4.7cm and AC= 7.6cm.

Solution - Steps of construction

Step1 - Draw line AB= 5.2cm

Step2 - B as centre draw an arc of 4.7cm

Step 3 - A as centre drawWith B as centre and radius = 6cm draw another are cutting previous arc at point
C. Join BC.

Step 4 - C as centre and draw an arc of =5.2cm

Step 5 - A as the centre draw an arc of 4.7cm which cuts the previous arc at D Join CD and AD. ABCD is
required quadrilateral

Step6 - Join CD and AD (Note Opposite sides of parallela gram are equal)

5. Construct a parallelogram, one of whose side is 4.4 cm and whose diagonals are 5.6cm and 7cm.
Measure the other side.

Solution - Steps of construction

Step1 - Draw line AB= 4.4cm

Step2 - With A as centre and radius 2.8cm dran an arc.

Step 3 - With B as centre and radius 3.5cm draw an arc which cuts the previous 3.5cm draw an arc which
cuts the previous arc at O.

Step 4 - join OA and OB. Produce OA to C, such that OC=AO. Produce OB to D such that OB=OD. Join AD,
And CD.

So, ABCD is required parallelogram . The other side is 4.5 cm in length, So= BC=AD= 4.5cm

[ Note diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other]
