There should be a negative button on your calculator, separate from the minus button. Press that button before pressing the buttons for the numbers of the exponent.

How do you type negative exponents into a calculator?

If your calculator is advanced, like the TI-84, there is an exponent button you can hit. Then, just Type negative and the exponent. If it is a simpler calculator, like a four-function calculator, there IS a way. By raising a number to a negative exponent, you are saying that one is being divided by that number to the positive version of that power. Ex: 5^-8 = 1/(5^8). To do this, divide one by the base, then raise it to the exponent, making sure that the exponent is POSITIVE. Also be careful that the entire denominator is in parentheses, just in case.


How to find the square root of an number using a scientific calculator but my scientific calculator DOES not have that radical sign?

To find the square root on a calculator without a radical symbol, you can use the power function. Simply raise the number to the power of 0.5 to find the square root. For example, to find the square root of 16, you can input 16^0.5 into your calculator to get the result.


Does a negative number raised to an odd power simplifies to a negative number?

Yes, a negative number raised to an odd power will simplify to a negative number. This is because when you multiply two negative numbers together, the result is always a positive number. However, when you raise a negative number to an odd power, the negative sign remains, resulting in a negative number. This is a fundamental property of exponents and is consistent across all mathematical operations involving negative numbers.
