  2. Cube (algebra) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cube_(algebra)

    The cube of a number or any other mathematical expression is denoted by a superscript 3, for example 2 3 = 8 or (x + 1) 3. The cube is also the number multiplied by its square: n 3 = n × n 2 = n × n × n. The cube function is the function x ↦ x 3 (often denoted y = x 3) that maps a number to its cube. It is an odd function, as

    10 3 = 1000 up 1; There are two steps to extracting the cube root from the cube of a two-digit number. For example, extracting the cube root of 29791. Determine the one's place (units) of the two-digit number. Since the cube ends in 1, as seen above, it must be 1. If the perfect cube ends in 0, the cube root of it must end in 0.

    A Cabtaxi number is the smallest positive number that can be expressed as a sum of two integer cubes in n ways, allowing the cubes to be negative or zero as well as positive. The smallest cabtaxi number after Cabtaxi(1) = 0, is Cabtaxi(2) = 91, [ 5 ] expressed as:

  5. Sums of three cubes - Wikipedia

    Semi-log plot of solutions of + + = for integer , , and , and .Green bands denote values of proven not to have a solution.. In the mathematics of sums of powers, it is an open problem to characterize the numbers that can be expressed as a sum of three cubes of integers, allowing both positive and negative cubes in the sum.

  6. Triangular number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triangular_number

    Triangular numbers are a type of figurate number, other examples being square numbers and cube numbers. The n th triangular number is the number of dots in the triangular arrangement with n dots on each side, and is equal to the sum of the n natural numbers from 1 to n. The sequence of triangular numbers, starting with the 0th triangular number, is

  7. Taxicab number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taxicab_number

    In mathematics, the nth taxicab number, typically denoted Ta(n) or Taxicab(n), is defined as the smallest integer that can be expressed as a sum of two positive integer cubes in n distinct ways. [1] The most famous taxicab number is 1729 = Ta(2) = 1 3 + 12 3 = 9 3 + 10 3, also known as the Hardy-Ramanujan number. [2] [3]

Scott created this course to help people master mental mathematics. The training covers the unknown and hidden patterns behind numbers and how they work in our daily life.

  9. Fourth power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourth_power

    In arithmetic and algebra, the fourth power of a number n is the result of multiplying four instances of n together. So: n 4 = n × n × n × n. Fourth powers are also formed by multiplying a number by its cube.
