On A ti-89 ti how do you do roots. How do you find the nth root of a number?

a square root of a number would be like that number to the 1/2 power

so if you want the cube root of 27 you would do 27^(1/3)


if you want the square root of 16 you woul do 16^(1/2)

thats not quite what i was looking for. There is an actual button that should do the command. It looks like the square root sign but over the part right before the check mark outside the sign almost on top of it there should be an x representing the degree to which it is multiplied. Example would be the 4th root of the square root of a^3b^6. I know there is a way to do that specificly.

Look it up in the catalog, either way, B's way is a lot easier to remember, becasue it does mathematically work.

if there were such a command i would have mentioned it. I don't see what's so difficult about typing out ()^(1/3).

On the 8Xs, yes. On the 89 family, no.
