It may alfo be applied to many other purposes which are quite foreign to a course of Arithmetic. EXTRACTION of the CUBE ROOT. EXtrading the cube root is, the finding out a number, which being multiplied into itself, and then again into the product, will produce the given number. To extract the cube root of integers, or decimals, or both mixed together. Separate the given number into periods of three figures each, by putting a point over every third figure from the place of units, and make the decimals confift of three, fix, or nine, &c. places, by annexing one or more ciphers if neceffary. Then, feek the greatest cube in the left hand period, write the root in the quotient, and the cube under the period, from which fubtract it. To the remainder annex the next period, and call the whole fum the refolvend. Under this refolvend, write the triple fquare of the root, fo that units in the latter may fland under the place of hundreds in the former; and under the faid triple square write the triple root, removed one place to the right hand, and the fum of these two lines call a divifor. Seek Seek how often this divifor may be had in the refolvend, its right hand place excepted, and write the refult in the quotient. Under the divifor write the product of the triple fquare of the root by the laft quotient figure, fetting the units place of this line, under that of tens in the divifor; under this line, write the product of the triple root by the fquare of the last quotient figure, let this line be removed one place beyond the right hand of the former; and under this line, removed one place forward to the right hand, write the cube of the laft quotient figure. Call the fum of these three lines the fubtrahend, which fubtract from the refolvend, and to the remainder bring down the next period for a new refolvend, with which proceed as before, and fo on till the whole is finished. |
