Stuck with Maths? Help Needed with Casio fx-85MS Calculator

[barry@white23.wanado]

Hi all. I have a Casio fx-85MS scientific calculator but forgot how to work it. I need to do calculations like 2000/(1+0.08) to the power of 9. Its a formula for working out the value of money in x amount of years at 8% discount factor. I can't rememer how to get the power of function on the calculator to work, I thought it was EXP something but can't figure it out. I even downloaded the userguide but can't understand it. Incase you havn't guessed its been a while since I needed to do mahts,
Any ideas?
Thanks

The button labeled ^ should be the right one. According to a picture of this calculator I've found it is just above sin.

Use EXP to get powers of 10. For example: EXP,5,EXE would be the same as 10,^,5,EXE. Both results will be 100000.
