Negative powers on the Windows calculator

[questions_uk]

Hi. How would you go about doing negative powers on the windows calculator? For example if you wanted to calculate 10 x 10 ^ - 3 x 2 for example what input would you use on the windows calculator? Thanks.

Well, I doubt this is a homework question so here is the answer.

10 * 10 x^y ( - 3)*2

These are the buttons you press.

Who would know? Try it with some test values.

The Windows calculator (calc.exe) hasn't changed its appearance for many releases of Windows (maybe back to Windows 3 or before), and I doubt that its inner workings have changed, either. It would be very surprising to me to find that you got a different result on two different Windows versions.
