    Hello,
    can anyone help me to revise the topic of roots and powers from school program (so many years past):

    5731=16* 500*r 4 (r in 4-th power – can’t type this)
    then

    r = the root of the root of ( 5731/(16*500)) ?

    so, we can calculate ( 5731/(16*500), then press two times the root sign on calculator. Is this right?

    To take the 4th root, yes – it is the same as taking the square root twice.

    However, you should buy a scientific calculator because if you needed to calculate the third root (cube root) or a fifth root, for example, then there is no other way than using a scientific calculator.

    That’s what I was so much questioning. Thank you.
