Third power - practice problems

Raising a number to the third power, or cubing, means multiplying it by itself three times (n³ = n×n×n). Unlike squares, cubes preserve the sign of the number: negative numbers produce negative cubes. Perfect cubes are integers resulting from cubing whole numbers (1, 8, 27, 64, 125, etc.). Cubing is essential for calculating volumes of cubic shapes and appears in many mathematical and scientific formulas. The relationship between a number and its cube is not proportional, growing much faster than linear or quadratic relationships. The inverse operation is the cube root, and understanding both is crucial for solving cubic equations and three-dimensional problems.
