    1.5×100^(-0.074005)=1.066817814 (my CASIO fx-83ES has a bottom for the function x^ but when pressing it, it shows as above so maybe yours has a similar function or bottom).

    Best wishes,
    Alua

    Terpsichora, u dont even have to use SHIFT.

    a*x then press x^y button (its the first to right of EXP) then u type the long b number 0.785734734…. then press (+/-) button and in the end (:)

    Dont enter -0.785734734 just put it as a positive number and just then press (+/-) to tell the calculator its a negative number.

    I’m not sitting the exam until June but do we need a scientific calculator? The bits I have covered so far haven’t required it – but may be I need it later in the book??
