Alex, the reason for this is because calculators follow the order of operation. In order for any calculator to perform the mathematical operation correct, it must be written as follows: 1^(4/3) There is no way that I can think of where you should have recieve an answer of 0, i recieve an answer of .33 when I didn't put in the parenthesis and this is because 1^4 is 1 and 1/3 is .33.

This is not good; it gave me wrong anwsers for a lot of my calculus homework. Just glad it is not graded on the answers, just on effort.
