there is a button that looks like yx at a glance, but when looking at it closer, its really Y^x, so in your example 4^5.6, you would type in 4, then hit the Y^x button, type in 5.6, then hit enter.

edit: on my TI it is the button just below the off button, if that helps at all.

I HAVE AN EXAM TOMORROW. THEY SUPPLY CALCULATORS. THEY ARE VERY BASIC FUNCTION CALCULATORS. I NEED TO KNOW HOW TO RAISE TO A NON WHOLE NUMBER, WITHOUT USING ^ OR Y^X SINCE THERE WILL NOT BE THAT OPTION
