Anyone know how can i calculate 1.0595 to the -2.5 power?

1 . 0 5 y^x 4 +/- =
Make sure you use the +/- key instead of the - key when entering negative numbers.

You can use the universal power key. On the screen capture it appears below the hyp key (second row, the one before last)

To enter 1000 to -.415
1000 [y to x] [(] [+/-] .415 [)]

where [+/-] is the change sign key.

Having gone over a month with no response, I assume this is no longer a problem.

Hi,
I see no reason why you should not be able to calculate that power. The result, as expected is close to 1, in fact 1.62812476. It is more likely due to a manipulation error on your part.
Try to calculate 1^(1825). If you do not get an error, then it must certainly be a manipulation error. To make sure you do it correctly, here is the correct syntax.
1.00026712 [Y to the x] 1825 [=].

Hope it helps.
Thank you for using FixYa.

There must be [ ^ ] or [ y^x ] button it's the function of the power so use it like this: x power y
Rate me, thanks.

Change the angular mode to something other than radians.

cant solve simple problems

calculators are repaired in watch works...they will give u a better service for calculators...if it s scientific calculators..then giv it to the computer service providers....but usually there s very few service providers can been seen for repairing the calculators...since it doesnt cost much!!!!

Come on now....there are dedicated "square" and "square root" keys on the TI-30XA....

Enter your number e.g. 4, then press the "root x" key to get 2...

Press "x squared" key to get the square of 2 = 4

There's the even more useful "y to the power x" key and it's inverse "xth root of y" key.

E.g. Enter 2, then press the "y to the power x" key, then 5, then =, answer is 32 (2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2). Starting with 32, pres 2nd then the "y to the power x" key, then 5, then =, answer is 2, the 5th root of 32....
