Use a calculator to evaluate a number to the power of a fractional index. Both the number (a positive integer) and the index (a rational) are randomised.

Using a calculator, evaluate $\\var{q2_expr}$ to 4 significant figures.

", "advice": "

Using a calculator, $\\var{q2_expr}=\\var{eval(q2_expr)}$.

\n

Rounding this to 4 significant figures means that we round the answer to exactly 4 digits, beginning with the left hand most non-zero digit, even if this is to the right of the decimal point.

\n

Rounded to 4 significant figures, the answer is: $\\var{sigformat(eval(q2_expr),4)}$
