kubikált

Kubikált is a term used in Hungarian mathematics to describe something that has been raised to the third power. It is the past participle of the verb kubikálni, meaning to cube. The cube of a number n is denoted n^3 and is obtained by multiplying n by itself twice (n × n × n). In everyday mathematical language the cube is also referred to as a köb; the result of cubing a quantity is described as kubikált, for example kubikált érték or kubikált szám.

The word kubikált is typically used for values, expressions, or quantities that have undergone cubing. The operation itself is called kubikálás. In geometry, however, the solid with six square faces is commonly called a kocka (cube). The adjective köbös or cubic is more often used when describing functions or shapes in a broader mathematical context, while kubikált emphasizes the result of the cubing operation.

Common related terms include köb (the cube), köbös/függvény (cubic function), köbgyök (cube root), and köbméter (cubic meter). In scientific and educational texts you may encounter both kubikált and köb-based terminology depending on the author’s preference.

Example: If n = 4, then n^3 = 64. This can be read as “a szám köbe/kubikja 64.” In programming or algebraic descriptions one might say that x is cubed, or that a value has been kubikált to yield x^3.
