I need some help please : )

I have a TI-83 Plus Silver Edition, I am doing square roots in math class and when I use the square root button an open parenthesis appears with the sq. root symbol. This is really messing up my answers when I need a decimal answer. Is there any way to get ride of this parenthesis?

Two ways:

2ND [square-root] ( 8 7 . 3 4 / 5 ) ENTER

8 7 . 3 4 / 5 ENTER then 2ND [square-root] 2ND ANS ENTER

The first sequence takes the square root of 87.34/5, the second sequence calculates 87.34/5 then takes the square root of the result.

Use the xth-root function to compute any root. It's the fifth entry on the MATH menu, which you can get by pressing the MATH key. The fourth entry on the same menu gives you the third root without needing the 3 to be specified.

For example, to compute the 5th root of 32, press 5 MATH 5 3 2 ENTER.
