Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

Solution:-

False.

Q82Written answer

363 × 81 is a perfect cube.

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

Solution:-

False.

So, factors of 363 × 81 are 3 × 11 × 11 × 3 × 3 × 3 × 3

= 33 × 11 × 11 × 3 × 3

Q83Written answer

Cube roots of 8 are +2 and –2.

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

Solution:-

False.

Because, cube root of 8 is 2 only.

i.e. 2 × 2 × 2 = 8

Q84Written answer

3√ (8 + 27) = 3√ (8) + 3√ (27).

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

Solution:-

False.

Let us consider LHS = 3√ (8 + 27)

= 3√ (35)

Then, RHS = 3√8 + 3√27

= 2 + 3

= 5

By comparing LHS and RHS

LHS ≠ RHS

3√ (35) ≠ 5

Q85Written answer

There is no cube root of a negative integer.

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

Solution:-

False.

Let us take -27

Cube root of -27 i.e. 3√-27 = 3√((-3) × (-3) × (-3))

= -3

Q86Written answer

Square of a number is positive, so the cube of that number will also be positive.

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

Solution:-

False.

Let us take -3

Now, square of the -3 i.e. -32 = 9

Then, cube of the same number i.e. -33 = -27

Solve the following questions.

Q87Written answer

Write the first five square numbers.

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

Solution:-

The first five square numbers are,

1 × 1 = 1

2 × 2 = 4

3 × 3 = 9

4 × 4 = 16

5 × 5 = 25

Q88Written answer

Write cubes of first three multiples of 3.

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

Solution:-

The first three multiple of 3 are 3, 6 and 9

Then,

Cubes of first three multiples of 3,

= 33 = 3 × 3 × 3 = 27

= 63 = 6 × 6 × 6 = 216

= 93 = 9 × 9 × 9 = 729

Q89Written answer

Show that 500 is not a perfect square.

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

Solution:-

Factors of 500 are 2 × 2 × 5 × 5 × 5

Now,

Group the factors into pairs,

500 = (2 × 2) × (5 × 5 × 5)

= 22 × 53

So, the prime factors 2 and 5 do not occur in pairs.

Therefore, 500 is not a perfect square.

Q90Written answer

Express 81 as the sum of first nine consecutive odd numbers.

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

Solution:-

The first nine consecutive odd numbers are 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15 and 17

Then,

We know that 81 is a perfect square,

81 = (9)2

Now,

The sum of first nine consecutive odd numbers,

= 1 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 9 + 11 + 13 + 15 + 17

= 81
