:Is there any way for the Ti-85 to display an answer in radical form?

An answer to what? For quartic polynomials, it should be possible to
program in something, but after that you're going to run into trouble. The
problem is that radicals fundamentally involve some sort of symbolic
solution and I don't believe that the TI-85 is equipped to do that, so
you'd have to start from scratch.
