My TI-84 plus DOES NOT automatically insert a left parenthesis when the square root key is pressed. If I insert a right parent [ ) ], the TI-84 plus DOES insert the left parent AFTER the [enter] key is pressed. Is there a way to fix this? It DOES insert the automatic parent when I use the log() key.

That is not so: when you press the square root key, the calculator automatically inserts the opening parenthesis (the left one). It does so for all the built-in functions.
With MathPrint parentheses are not necessary because of the open boxes.the content of the box is implicitly enclosed in parentheses.

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.

SOURCE: entering a cubed root into a ti-83 plus

You can enter any root by typing the number, then hitting MATH and 5, which brings up the root symbol with the x in front of it: x√. So the fifth-root would be 5 -> MATH -> 5 and then whatever number you want to get the fifth-root for: 5x√10 for example. As someone else had mentioned, you can also raise it to a rational power: 3^(1/3) which would be the same as the cubed root of 3, but you could also type: 3 -> MATH -> 5 -> 3 and get the same answer, but looking like this in your calculator: 3x√3. The option for 4 actually is a predefined cubed-root, and the one for option 5 there is the root symbol that can be used with any number before it to get any root you want. There are no parenthesis as you get when using the predefined square-root and cubed-root functions, though, so you may want to type them in yourself if entering a long string of operations in the calculator at one time to make sure the calculator doesn't include numbers under the root that you don't want it to. But I guess it depends on preference in terms of what method you choose between the rational exponents or the root symbol (and most would go with whichever seems easiest and quickest to enter), but you asked specifically how to get the cubed-root on the TI-83 Plus, so there's my best attempt at answering your question.

SOURCE: How do I calculate the ArcCos of say -.25?

Hello,
There is nothing wrong. Your angle unit is set to radians and the calculator gave you the correct angle the cosine of which is -0.25: the answer is in the same unit as the one your calculator is configured for.
Press [MODE]. Use arrow to scroll to 3rd line, highlight Degree and press [ENTER]. Press [2nd][QUIT] to return to main calculator screen.
As long as the angle unit is set to degree, the angles calculated by the inverse trigonometric function will be in degrees.

Hope it helps.
