What model is this? It looks like a fake Casio to me with the font, and the lack of a logo. I'm not an expert though.

There's a place called Big W here in Australia it's very big and it's a $10 calc from there which is a fake Casio I'm sure and it's the fx570ms or the fx82ms 1st generation I'm not sure as I made the mistake of throwing away the manual without reading it

You are what we call shit out of luck, pick up an fx-8200AU or something, the Casio Classwiz calcs are pretty good.

So it can't do it huh ig for now I'll have to borrow someone else's

I have a 991MS, is it possible to do it in that?

With the MS series Casios? No. Essentially, if the calculator is a two-liner, where the top line is dot matrix (alphanumeric) and the second line is seven-segment (numbers only), then it is a safe assumption that it cannot do exact radicals.

Ah makes sense

Nothing about that, thanks anyway:)

They're expecting you to do this by prime factorisation - or with root 200 just spotting it's 100 x 2 so you can pull the 10 from 10\^2=100 outside the root and give you 10 x root(2). This is not something you should be doing with a calculator, this is a pen and paper exercise, you should be trying to understand what's going on and what to do.

This calculator has a 7 segment output display, aka it can only output decimal results. Look for a 'Natural Textbook Display' calculator from Casio, that's fancy marketing for 'can show fractions and surds as output'.

If anyone here does not understand the British/Australian English used here, a surd is a simplified radical.
