Calculator

[Mike R]

Simple question, I think.

Using the accessory calculator, I am trying resolve an
exponent. For example 2 to the 15th should be 32,768.

Entering 2 EXP 15 displays an exponential entry, but when
you press = the result is 2 followed by 15 0's or
2000000000000000.

Any ideas?

EXP is not Exponent as one would think; it is, in fact, # x 10 to the Nth
power - in your case 2 x 10 to the 15th

If you use the "x^y" key you will get what you want.

Keep us posted.
