Frequently Asked Questions
(FAQ) |
| |
| Q:
How do I group multiple
terms in the numerator
and/or denominator of
a fraction? |
| A:
Use parenthesis to group
multiple terms. For
instance, (x+1)/(x-2)
will group x+1
in the numerator of
the fraction and x-2
in the denominator of
the fraction. The same
technique can be used
to group terms under
a radical and in an
exponent. |
| |
| Q:
How do I enter fractional
exponents? |
| A:
Use parenthesis to enter
fractional exponents.
For example, x^(1/2)
will group 1/2
in the exponent. |
| |

How do I enter in my
problem? |
