Learning rate from calculator

NNikita5y ago
Hello John, Hope you are well and safe! I was wondering how can we calculate learning rate from calculator as there is a chance that it may come in 2 marks question? examples say r4=0.445833 Also, we will be provided with the scientific calculator right? (As I have normal casio calculator only) Thanks in advance :)

There is an on-screen scientific calculator with the exam - it is important to practice the CBE specimens on the ACCA website. Taking a fourth root is easy - it is taking the square root twice. If you want to take (for example) the third root of 8, then you press the keys in the following order: '3', '2nd' (the green button at the top left), '^' , '8', 'enter'. The answer should then appear as '2'. (many buttons have a symbol printed above the button. Pressing the green button first makes the button do whatever action is printed above the button.)
