To get a negative number on a scientific calculator, you can usually press the negative sign key, often labeled as “(-)” or “±,” before entering the number. For example, to input -5, you would press the negative sign key followed by the number 5. Alternatively, if you have already entered a positive number, you can often change its sign by pressing the same negative sign key again.

Yes, that is the basic idea - if the exponent (the number with a superscript) is a positive integer. However, negative and fractional exponents are also defined; you can verify this with any scientific calculator (use a positive number as the base, in this case).Note: In a number such as 103, 10 is the base, 3 is the exponent.Yes, that is the basic idea - if the exponent (the number with a superscript) is a positive integer.
