Hello,
Between the x`squared key and the log key there is a key with an x
with a raised small figure of a solid square. That is the key you use
to enter arbitrary exponents.
- If calculator is in MathIO ( a Math indicator appears on the
upper band of the screen), enter the base of the power (here 2). A
number 2 with a raised empty square appears.The cursor will blink in
the raised square. Enter there the exponent (here 12) and press [=].
Result 4096 appears at the bottom of the screen.
- If in LineIO (no Math indicator appears on the narrow band at the
top of the screen), press 2 and then the key I talked about above. On
the screen a number 2 appears with a hat and a left parenthesis. Type
in the exponent (here 12) , the right parenthesis and press [=]. The
calculator should display 4096.000...
In the exemples above I used 2^12. But you can enter any base (2, 3, 5.5, 16/47, ) and any exponent ( 12, 13/48, 0.007654, even negative values).
Hope it helps
