Explanation:
We will assume “a number” is “a”. When it is cubed it will be represented by
= “a³”.
When we multiply the number with 5 then the new cube will be
= (5a)³
Now distribute the exponent to the factors inside the parentheses.
= 125a³
What happens in the parentheses is 5*5*5 = 125
a*a*a = a³
So by multiplying your number with 5 it gets increased by 125 times.
