A 4-th root of -1? All roots of -1? The 4-th root of x-1? 17:12 rtoym: i need to differentiate this function: 8(1-x)*4-th((1-x)^3) my primary problem is that i dont know how to type in the 4-th root func. 17:13 8*(x-1)*((1-x)^3)^(1/4) 17:13 I think. You want the 4-th root of (1-x)^3? 17:13 yes, exactly 17:14 okay, i'll try. thank you 17:57 -!- HaraldG(n=rldprog@chello080108070152.13.11.univie.teleweb.at) has joined #maxima 19:38 -!- Prax01D(n=Prax01D@tor58-5-77-43.dynamic.rogerstelecom.net) has joined #maxima 22:02 -!- mrks_(n=mrks@pD950768B.dip0.t-ipconnect.de) has left #maxima
