    Does financial calculator is the only way to calculate learning curve??

    For example, learning rate 75%, the learning factor(b) is equal to -0.415, First job in 5 hours, DLH for 6 jobs

    y= 6job x 5hours power -0.415

    When I get the answer form above formula, I need the special button on calculator which is y power x , that I could not find it on the scientific calculator. Only I could find on the financial calculator

    However, according to the accaglobal they prohibit the calculator having store function

    I have BA 2 plus texas instruments , which have store function. Can I sit the F5 exam with this one ?

    please reply to my concern.

    Unless it is application of the doubling rule (which is examined) then yes – you need a calculator which has a log button and a y^x button.

    Every scientific calculator that I have ever seen has these buttons 🙂

    I cannot comment on your calculator because I do not know it.
