Math Typing Issue

Hi, Noah!

For you to type a fractional exponent, please follow these steps:

1. For the exponent, use the caret (^) on your keyboard. You can also use the exponent button found on the special-key pad.

2. As the exponent is a fraction, you'll have to enter it between parentheses (( )) using your keyboard. 

3. For the fraction, use the slash (/) on your keyboard or use the fraction button found on the special-key pad.

I hope this helps! Thank you for being a part of Khan Academy!
