Input tips
- • Type an expression like 2^10 or use the xⁿ button.
- • A negative exponent means reciprocal: a^(-n) = 1/a^n. The calculator handles this automatically.
Common mistakes to avoid
- • Applying an exponent to only one factor inside parentheses.
- • Treating a negative exponent as a negative value instead of a reciprocal.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a negative exponent?
A negative exponent means reciprocal: a^(-n) = 1/a^n. The calculator handles this automatically.
Can it compute fractional exponents like roots?
Yes. x^(1/2) is the square root, x^(1/3) is the cube root, and so on.
