Hi,
Two ways: using fraction bar or using "1 over" function.
1. Using "one over" funcj: type this sequence: the base number,
one over command then the root. For instance, if you want to
find the cube root of 125, you'd type: 125, SPACE with DOTS 4-5
(forgot the QT command, sorry), 3 then ENTER - equals 5.
2. Using fraction bar: Almost the same as above but substitute
power command instead by typing power function command followed
by the fraction notation. For instance, to compute the above
example using fraction bar, type 125, power command (DOTS 4-5),
1, fraction bar (SPACE with dots 3-4), 3 then ENTER - equals 5.
Thanks for giving another short article to write on my site -
I'll include this tip on the next version.
Cheers,
Joseph

Subject: [Braillenote] roots of numbers
Hi list. Is there any way to find the root of a number in the
scientific calculator? I know that you can find the square root,
but can you find the cube root, fourth root, etc? I have not seen
this feature in the calculator, but I figured I would ask anyway.
I am working with finding roots of real numbers in my Algebra
class, so I'm hoping there is a way to do this.
