The cube root of 49 is 3.65930571002. The cube root of 49 is expressed as ∛49 in radical form, where the “ ∛ ” sign" is called the “radical” sign. In exponential form, it is written as (49)⅓. If “m” is the cube root of 49, then, m3=49. Let us find the value of “m”.
We can find cube root of 49 through a method, named as, Halley’s Method. Let us see how it finds the result.
Now, what is Halley’s Method? It is an iterative method for finding cube roots of a given number N, such that, x3=N, where this method approximates the value of “x”.
Formula is ∛a≅ x((x3+2a) / (2x3+a)), where
a=given number whose cube root you are going to find
x=integer guess for the cubic root
Let us apply Halley’s method on the given number 49.
Step 1: Let a=49. Let us take x as 3, since, 33=27 is the nearest perfect cube which is less than 49.
Step 2: Apply the formula. ∛49≅ 3((33+2×49) / (2(3)3+49))= 3.64…
Hence, 3.64… is the approximate cubic root of 49.


Understanding common misconceptions or mistakes can make your calculations error free. So let us see how to avoid those from happening.
Find ((∛98/ ∛49) × (∛98/ ∛49) × (∛98/ ∛49))
(∛98/ ∛49) × (∛98/ ∛49) × (∛98/ ∛49)
= (∛98× ∛98× ∛98) / (∛49× ∛49× ∛49)
=((98)⅓)3/ ((49)⅓)3
=98/49
=2
Answer: 2
We solved and simplified the exponent part first using the fact that, ∛98=(98)⅓ and ∛49=(49)⅓ , then solved.
If y = ∛49, find y³/ y⁶
y=∛49
⇒ y3/y6= (∛49)3 / (∛49)6
⇒ y3/y6= 49/ (49)2= 1/49
Answer: 1/49
(∛49)3=(491/3)3
=49, and ∛(49)6
=(491/3)6=(49)2.
Using this, we found the value of y3/y6.
Multiply ∛49 × ∛64 × ∛125
∛49 × ∛64 × ∛125
= 3.659 × 4 ×5
= 73.18
Answer: 73.18
We know that the cubic root of 64 is 4 and the cubic root of 125 is 5, hence multiplying ∛125, ∛64 and ∛49.
What is ∛(100)⁶+ ∛(49)⁶ ?
∛(1006)+ ∛(49)6
= ((100)6))1/3 +((49)6)1/3
=(100)2 + (49)2
= 10000 + 2401
Answer: 12401
We solved and simplified the exponent part first using the fact that, ∛100=(100)⅓ and ∛49=(49)⅓ , then solved.
Find ∛(49+(-9)+(-13))
∛(49-9-13)
= ∛27
=3
Answer: 3
Simplified the expression, and found out the cubic root of the result.
