<p>A<a>cube</a><a>number</a>is a value obtained by raising a number to the<a>power</a><a>of</a>3, or by multiplying the number by itself three times. When you cube a positive number, the result is always positive. When you cube a<a>negative number</a>, the result is always negative. This is because a negative number by itself three times results in a negative number.</p>

<p>First, let’s find the cube of 8.5.</p>
46
<p>First, let’s find the cube of 8.5.</p>
48
<p>We know that the cube of a number, such that x³ = y, where x is the given number, and y is the cubed value of that number.</p>
47
<p>We know that the cube of a number, such that x³ = y, where x is the given number, and y is the cubed value of that number.</p>
49
<p>So, we get 8.5³ = 614.125.</p>
48
<p>So, we get 8.5³ = 614.125.</p>
50
<p>Next, we must find the cube root of 8.5. We know that the cube root of a number ‘x’, such that ∛x = y, where ‘x’ is the given number, and y is the cube root value of the number.</p>
49
<p>Next, we must find the cube root of 8.5. We know that the cube root of a number ‘x’, such that ∛x = y, where ‘x’ is the given number, and y is the cube root value of the number.</p>
51
<p>So, we get ∛8.5 ≈ 2.041.</p>
50
<p>So, we get ∛8.5 ≈ 2.041.</p>
52
<p>Hence the cube of 8.5 is approximately 614.125 and the cube root of 8.5 is approximately 2.041.</p>
51
<p>Hence the cube of 8.5 is approximately 614.125 and the cube root of 8.5 is approximately 2.041.</p>
