You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Find the fifth root (not the 5th square root) of 1.63.
\n" ); document.write( "Most calculators have a square root key but not the cube root, fourth root, etc.
\n" ); document.write( "To find a higher root than square root, it is good to know that the square root of a number can be written as:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"sqrt%28x%29+=+x%5E%281%2F2%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "In general, the nth root of a number, x, can be written: $\"x%5E%281%2Fn%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "So you can write the 5th root of 1.63 as:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"1.63%5E%281%2F5%29\"$ and this can be put in your calculator using the caret sign (^)
\n" ); document.write( "So enter the 1.63 then the caret (^) then (1/5) followed by the = or ENTER key and you should get: 1.10264959142 \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
