SOURCE: how to get the square root using a ti-30xa calculator?

Come on now....there are dedicated "square" and "square root" keys on the TI-30XA....

Enter your number e.g. 4, then press the "root x" key to get 2...

Press "x squared" key to get the square of 2 = 4

There's the even more useful "y to the power x" key and it's inverse "xth root of y" key.

E.g. Enter 2, then press the "y to the power x" key, then 5, then =, answer is 32 (2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2). Starting with 32, pres 2nd then the "y to the power x" key, then 5, then =, answer is 2, the 5th root of 32....

It's been a while since my TI calculator died, but I think you can just hit EE (may be "exp" on your model) followed by =.

SOURCE: TI-15 square root Function

Hello,
You should enter it as follows [SQRT]36 ) [ENTER/=].
If you define some function f of a variable x you write that f(x), where the parentheses enclose the so-called argument (objet on wich the function acts). It seems that on this calculator the opening parenthesis is implicit: the calculator supplies it when you press [SQRT] but does not display it (a design flaw?). However the closing parenthesis must be entered by you to signifie to the function [SQRT] that you have finished entering the argument. Weird but one can live with it.
Hope it helps.

30xiis decimals square root

In general you cannot. If the square root happens to be an integer (ex: SQRT (4)=2) or a rational number (SQRT(16/9)=4/3) you can convert from one form to the other, but that is the same as converting from a decimal to a fraction.
However you can never convert 1.414213562 (the first 10 digits of SQRT(2)) into the radical SQRT(2). The reason is that root here is an irrational number: its decimal representation is endless and not periodic (non repeating).

Convert decimals fractions standard form

If you are concerned about fraction handling and conversion to decimal representation, upgrade the OS of your calculator to 2.5x MP. As to handling of irrational numbers (such as square roots) you should visit the TIcalc.org website to look for any 3rd-party program that can do that.

TI-30XS won't show square roots

You've got two different issues here.

Square root of 39 IS the exact answer, as the result will be a surd (an irrational number with too many - or potentially infinite decimal places).

If you have been asked to round or show your answer to a number of decimal places then you use the answer toggle (the opposing arrows button above enter) to receive an approximation - a rounded answer (6.24 to two d.p. if you were to multiply these together you will see it is close to 39, but not EXACT, because it has been rounded already). You can also press the answer toggle again to see a longer decimal, but again this is rounded and not exact

How can I find the square root of 39 on my ti-30xa? Also I would like to know how to find the cube of 9482... Help

Square root of 39: Press 3 9 [square-root] =
[square-root] is the key just to the left of the divide key.

Cube root of 9482: Press 9 4 8 2 2nd [cube-root] =
[cube-root] is the shifted function of the 0 key.

For other roots, you can use the [nth-root] function, the shifted function of the key above the divide key. For example, to calculate the fourth root of 16, press 1 6 2nd [nth-root] 4 =

I cant figure out how to get the square root of a negative number

The square root of a negative number is an imaginary number, and the TI-30XA does not deal with imaginary numbers.

However, the square root of -x is equal to i times the square root of x. So, to calculate the square root of -4, for example, press 4 square_root = and read 2. Thus the square root of -4 is 2i.

My ti 30 calculator always rounds to the nearest number with the answer. How can i get this to stop????

Hi,
To stop the calcultor rounding your answers to the nearest INTEGER, press [2nd][FIX] followed by a number other than 0. For exemple
[2nd][FIX] 3 will display the numbers with 3 decimal digits.

Hope it helps.
Thank you for using FixYa.
