a beg,I know DAT did equation might be simple to a lot of people but d truth is DAT I don't know it so pls someone tutor me how dis answer was arrived without a scientific calculator------1.4857 raised to power 1/5=1.082398

. Dt 1/5=0.2 then 1.4857 raised to power 0.2= 1.082398

u don't understand,no scientific calculator,jes normal calculator,wat step does someone ought to take,is square root involved?

Equate it to a variable, say X and take logarithm of both sides. You will be needing your 4 figure table.

Simplify it wt binomial expantion

Use 4-fig table.
The log and anti-log tables actually

A basic non-scientific cal shld be able to take squareroot, except im mistaken. But if thats the case, by taking the 5th root you shld arrive at ur ansa.

raised to power 1/5 is the fifth root just as raised to power 1/2 is the square root

u cud convert 1.4857 to 14857/10000 reduce to lowest term and find their 5th root.
