Hi Carcass , in the gre calculator, can we calculate powers and roots? if not then i think the above solution might be tricky to arrive at... any thoughts?


You have the exact replica of the calc you will have in the real exam even above in the timer. so you can see

However, take a look here How to use the GRE Calculator - TIPS https://gre.myprepclub.com/forum/how-to ... ml#p106765

Carcass, thanks for sharing the link. however as I asked, i dont think we will be able to calculate numbers like n raised to the power 20.., I am asking this because in one of the solutions provided, they end up doing such a calculation.

Hre on ets the calculator also https://www.ets.org/content/dam/ets-ind ... elines.pdf

However, in a question on the GRE you do not need such calculation. Usually whe a number is raised to such power is to use a pattern

For exampe 2^20 is a pattern

2^2=4
2^3=8
2^4=16
2^5=32

2 repeats itself after 4

In the case above you just enter the number raised and then hit the = button 20 times. You will get the result

For example 1.5*1.5=2.25 then 20 times = and you have 16,834.11
