I can't remember how to use power function ^ to find the nth root
of a number. To find the 2ndth root of a number we can use the sqrt
() function. But to find the nth root
For instance, lets say I want to convert a number to scientific
notation (the 10th root of that number)... I used
Randall,
I think you are confusing two different concepts.
10^2 = 100, not 2^10 = 100.
What you want is something like this:
Step 1) 10^x = 100
Step 2) log 10^x = log 100
Step 3) x log 10 = log 100
Step 4) x = log 100 / log 10
In short, you need to use logarithms and you'll get a formula
As in 27^(1/3) = 3?

Not confused by what i mean. How do i get the nth root of a number?

Randall,
You want the nth root and you are doing it correctly, but have a false
assumption (the 10th root of 100 is NOT 2). I showed how to derive
10^x = 100, which is more relevant
