- Hi, I was looking a standard trig book yesterday, and some a
- problem like "take the cube root of (-1, SQRT 3). I tried to type
- it in, then discoverd that I cannot put the SQRT in there no matter
- which mode I use(vector or complex, () or []). The only way I can
- get a put the SQRT sign in the vector is enter it as (-1, 3), then
- edit it. Does anyone know any way to enter SQRT 3 directly in there?
- Also, I don't think the HP48 is going to give me 3 nice
- roots for a vector if I just try to do it as it was a #. Does anyone
- know if the proot in seq.uncwil does the root for vector too? If not,
- did anyone wrote a program for it?
- Thank you!
