RE: Problem calculating an expression with roots
Hello Reto,
In Home it seems to be related to evaluation order: 1/3 is evaluated to the approximated floating 0.333 first. There seems to be no further internal test if the exponent is rational. If you enter it as ³√(-8) you'll get -2. (The other way around is similiar: (1/3)NTHROOT(-2) is not the same as (-2)^3) The CAS seems to evaluate (-1)^(p/q) to the first complex solution as long as the denominator q is ≤4 (autosimplification turned off). Sorry, can't tell you why (just guess). |
