The exponent is a fraction. Try replacing the division sign with
dots 3 4
7.

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.

When I raise ?1 to the power of 4/3, I get 0; I should get 1.
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.
Have a great day,
Alex
