AI Thread Summary
A syntax error when attempting to calculate expressions like 1 + 10^3.9 typically indicates incorrect command entry on the calculator. Users are encouraged to refer to the manual, particularly pages E-13 and E-14, which detail how to perform exponent operations. A common mistake involves the method of entering exponents; for instance, while older calculators may allow direct input of exponentiation, newer models require a combination of keys, such as using [shift] followed by [log] to input exponents correctly. Understanding these differences can resolve syntax errors and facilitate accurate calculations.

If I try to do 1+ 10^3.9, for example, I just get 'syntax error'. Argh!

Help?

If you are getting a syntax error, more than likely you are entering the commands to perform 1+10^3.9 incorrectly.

Tell us exactly which keystrokes you are pressing one at a time.

Edit: Or you can try to figure out what you are doing wrong in the manual. Glancing at it, it looks like pages E-13 and E-14 explain how to perform exponents on your calculator.

I figured out what I was doing wrong- in my old calculator, I could just press, for example [10^x][5], but on this new calculator, you need to press [shift][log].

Still not sure what the difference is, but it does what I need it to do, so I'm happy now. Thanks for your help :)

If not, do a YouTube search and a smorgasbord of solutions will be returned. What I want to mention is that I chose to use a debloated Windows from a debloater. There are many available options, e.g., Chris Titus Utilities (I used a product called Velotic, which also features AI to prevent your computer from overheating etc...

Thread 'Need advice on a computer monitor that goes dark'

I've been having problems for the past few weeks with the display on my Dell computer. I bought the computer new back in 2019 or so, which makes it about 6 years old. My monitor is a 27" HP monitor that I bought for another computer (an HP Pavilion), recently demised, back in about 2012 or 2013. As far as I can tell, the computer, which is running a 10-core Xeon Scalable processor, is functioning as it should. The first symptom was that the screen would go dark, which I would attempt to...
