Dear Sir,
Suppose, You have been referred with such requests for many times. I have tried to find posts similiar to my request. But I have problem with my scientfic Calculator Kenko KK-107A.
I ask Your support.
I am revising the task Henry ComPany from Kaplan Publishing.
Henry Company expects that the first kitchen will take 24 man-hours to fit, but thereafter the time will be subject to a 95% learning rate. B is calculated as -0.074. The formula y=ax^b: y=24*199^-0.074. Though the B is given in the task, but I wish to calculate it myself, as exam task may not conclude the B provided. And I could not calculate the formula on my calculator. Kindly ask You, to advise which bottomsand steps I need to calculate B(-0.074) and the formula (y=24*199^-0.074) ON MY CALCULATOR.
Grateful in advance. Best regards.

Hi Lilit I guess and hope that examiner will provide us with already calculated b, if there is not y^x button on your calculator I think there is no other way to calculate it
Good luck
Hasmik
I am sorry, but I do not have that calculator so it is difficult for me to tell you how to do it.
That calculator does certainly have a log button and also a y^x button on it – I can only suggest that you look at the manual.
(or post on the general forum and hope that someone has the same calculator as you)
Dear Sir and Dear Hasmik,
While waiting for assistance, I could solve my problems.. It was a great feeling:).
Thank you for your feedbacks!!!
Good luck, Hasmik!
Glad you sorted it!!
