And, in addition to what Arnold Huzen has already said, if you are looking for the nth root of a number (which is what you write - you want the cube root of 27, which is 3), your notation ( 27 ^ (-3) ) is incorrect: you should be doing (27 ^ ( 1/3)), which will get you the right answer of 3. In general, if you have the number in A1, and the nth root you require in B1, then, your formula should look like "=A1 ^ (1/B1)". Hope this helps.
