<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 because a negative number multiplied by itself three times results in a negative number. The cube of -10 can be written as (-10)^3, which is the<a>exponential form</a>. Or it can also be written in<a>arithmetic</a>form as, -10 × -10 × -10.</p>

<p>The multiplication method is a process in mathematics used to find the<a>product</a>of two numbers or quantities by combining them through repeated<a>addition</a>. It is a fundamental operation that forms the basis for more complex mathematical concepts. Step 1: Write down the cube of the given number. (-10)^3 = -10 × -10 × -10 Step 2: You get -1,000 as the answer. Hence, the cube of -10 is -1,000.</p>

<p>The formula (a + b)^3 is a<a>binomial</a>formula for finding the cube of a number. The formula is expanded as a^3 + 3a^2b + 3ab^2 + b^3. Step 1: Split the number -10 into two parts, as -12 and 2. Let a = -12 and b = 2, so a + b = -10 Step 2: Now, apply the formula (a + b)^3 = a^3 + 3a^2b + 3ab^2 + b^3 Step 3: Calculate each<a>term</a>a^3 = (-12)^3 3a^2b = 3 × (-12)^2 × 2 3ab^2 = 3 × (-12) × 2^2 b^3 = 2^3 Step 4: Add all the terms together: (a + b)^3 = a^3 + 3a^2b + 3ab^2 + b^3 (-12 + 2)^3 = (-12)^3 + 3 × (-12)^2 × 2 + 3 × (-12) × 2^2 + 2^3 (-10)^3 = -1,728 + 864 - 144 + 8 (-10)^3 = -1,000 Step 5: Hence, the cube of -10 is -1,000.</p>

<p>First, let’s find the cube of -10. We know that cube of a number, such that x^3 = y, where x is the given number, and y is the cubed value of that number. So, we get (-10)^3 = -1,000. Next, we must find the cube root of -10. 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. So, we get ∛(-10) ≈ -2.154. Hence, the cube of -10 is -1,000 and the cube root of -10 is approximately -2.154.</p>

<h3>Explanation</h3>

<p>To find its volume, we multiply the side length by itself three times (since it’s a 3-dimensional object). Cubing -10 means multiplying -10 by itself three times: -10 × -10 = 100, and 100 × -10 = -1,000. The unit of volume is cubic centimeters (cm³), because we are calculating the space inside the cube. Therefore, the volume of the cube is -1,000 cm³.</p>
