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.

Solutions:

Finding the Cube of natural numbers up to 10

13 = 1 × 1 × 1 = 1

23 = 2 × 2 × 2 = 8

33 = 3 × 3 × 3 = 27

43 = 4 × 4 × 4 = 64

53 = 5 × 5 × 5 = 125

63 = 6 × 6 × 6 = 216

73 = 7 × 7 × 7 = 343

83 = 8 × 8 × 8 = 512

93 = 9 × 9 × 9 = 729

103 = 10 × 10 × 10 = 1000

Hence, we conclude

(i) Cubes of all odd natural numbers are odd.

(ii) Cubes of all even natural numbers are even.

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 + 23 + 33 +…+ 93 by the above pattern.

Solution:

From the given pattern,

13 + 23 + 33 +…+ 93

13 + 23 + 33 +…+ n3 = (1+2+3+…+n) 2

So when n = 10

13 + 23 + 33 +…+ 93 + 103 = (1+2+3+…+10) 2

= (55)2 = 55×55 = 3025

Question 4. Write the cubes of 5 natural numbers which are multiples of 3 and verify the followings:
“The cube of a natural number which is a multiple of 3 is a multiple of 27’

Solution:

So, let’s see how to find the cube of 3, 6, 9, 12 and 15

33 = 3 × 3 × 3 = 27

63 = 6 × 6 × 6 = 216

93 = 9 × 9 × 9 = 729

123 = 12 × 12 × 12 = 1728

153 = 15 × 15 × 15 = 3375

As we can see that all the cubes are divisible by 27

Hence, “The cube of a natural number which is a multiple of 3 is a multiple of 27’

Question 5. Write the cubes of 5 natural numbers which are of the form 3n + 1 (e.g. 4, 7, 10, …) and verify the following:
“The cube of a natural number of the form 3n+1 is a natural number of the same form i.e. when divided by 3 it leaves the remainder 1’

Solution:

4, 7, 10, 13, and 16 are the first 5 natural numbers in the form of (3n + 1) 

So now, let us find the cube of 4, 7, 10, 13 and 16

43 = 4 × 4 × 4 = 64

73 = 7 × 7 × 7 = 343

133 = 13 × 13 × 13 = 2197

163 = 16 × 16 × 16 = 4096

When all the above cubes are divided by ‘3’ leaves the remainder of 1.

Hence, the statement “The cube of a natural number of the form 3n+1 is a natural number of the same form i.e. when divided by 3 it leaves the remainder 1’ is true.

Question 6. Write the cubes 5 natural numbers of form 3n+2(i.e.5, 8, 11….) and verify the following:

Solution:

5, 8, 11, 14 and 17 are the first 5 natural numbers in the form (3n + 2)

So now, let us find the cube of 5, 8, 11, 14 and 17 is

53 = 5 × 5 × 5 = 125

83 = 8 × 8 × 8 = 512

113 = 11 × 11 × 11 = 1331

143 = 14 × 14 × 14 = 2744

173 = 17 × 17 × 17 = 4913

When all the above cubes are divided by ‘3’ leaves the remainder of 2

Hence, the statement “The cube of a natural number of the form 3n+2 is a natural number of the same form i.e. when it is dividend by 3 the remainder is 2’ is true.

Question 7. Write the cubes of 5 natural numbers of which are multiples of 7 and verify the following:
“The cube of a multiple of 7 is a multiple of 73.

Solution:

7, 14, 21, 28 and 35 are the first 5 natural numbers which are multiple of 7

So now, let us find the cube of 7, 14, 21, 28 and 35

73 = 7 × 7 × 7 = 343

143 = 14 × 14 × 14 = 2744

213 = 21× 21× 21 = 9261

283 = 28 × 28 × 28 = 21952

353 = 35 × 35 × 35 = 42875
