Re: Help with TI-92's nth root function and subscript
[Prev][Next][Index][Thread]
Unfortunately, the TI-92 has no nth-root function or key. However, you can
make a function that does the same thing...
Try this (enter in the program editor):
xrooty(xx,yy)
Func
Return xx^(1/yy)
EndFunc
Or from the home screen:
Define xrooty(xx,yy)=xx^(1/yy)
(Replace xrooty with something shorter, if you like..)
Then xrooty(125,3) returns 5. Neat, huh?
