There's an exponential "p" that is on my calculator and i don't know how to get rid of it; it was an accident, please help me!
No you do not have an exponential p. The p at the bottom right of the screen says that the numeration mode is the one in base 5 (pental mode). Change it to decimal (Dec). Find the key that has the marking (->Dec) above in on the faceplate of the calculator. It s probably the + key. Press [2nd F][+] (>Dec). The letter p will disappear.

Hello,
Here is how you enter it.
[+/-]0.693/8x4[2ndF][e^x][=] result is 0.7071588193 or as you wrote 0.7071
some calculators show an error message if you enter the [+/-] (the negative of a number before the number itself).
In that case enter 0.693 then press [+/-]. the calculator should put a small - sign before the 0.
You can try
0.693[+/-][x]4[/]8[2ndF][e^x][=]
Hope it clarifies things.

The solution given by K24674 is correct. you have changed the base number system that you are working with to a penta-decimal. You need to change the number system back to decimal by pressing 2nd F DEC (probably above your plus key in orange). If all else fails, there is a reset button on the back of the calculator that will reset it back to it was the day you opened the box. Good luck
