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)

IceNight Probe Posted: 5 Jan 2005 17:56 GMT Total Posts: 13 | 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. |

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