Cubed

A number taken to the power 3 is said to be cubed, so 👁 x^3
is called "👁 x
cubed." This terminology derives from the fact that the volume of a cube of edge length 👁 x
is given by 👁 x^3
, hence the operation taking a cube's edge length to its volume is known as "cubing" and the quantity 👁 x^3
derived from 👁 x
by cubing is known as "👁 x
cubed."
