e.mccormick · Answer

So are you asking how to put a 5th root into a calculator?

anonymous · Answer

$$\sqrt[5]{}$$ yes

e.mccormick · Answer

Do you know the fractional exponent relationship for roots?

anonymous · Answer

No.

e.mccormick · Answer

$\Large \sqrt{x}=x^{\frac{1}{2}}$

$\Large \sqrt[5]{x}=x^{\frac{1}{5}}$

e.mccormick · Answer

If you have an $x^y$ button on the calculator, this can be used to do roots using that fact.

anonymous · Answer

I do not have this on my calculator!

anonymous · Answer

$$\sqrt[5]{1.1}$$

e.mccormick · Answer

Then your calculator may not have all the functions you need.  There are a couple solutions.  You could use Google.  There is also RealCalc for Android which has a free version.

is this good? I see y^x

e.mccormick · Answer

It also has the $\sqrt[y]{x}$ button.

anonymous · Answer

my calculator has that too! How do i use this?

e.mccormick · Answer

Depends on the calculator.  Some want x first, some want y first.  An easy test is use 4 and .5.  That should get 2.  If you get .84bla then you need to do it the other way.

And if you try 1.1^.2 you will get the same answer, which is how you would do it with a power.
