Negation To enter a negative number, use the negation key. Press Ì and then enter the number. On the TI-84 Plus, negation is in the third level in the EOS™ hierarchy. Functions in the first level, such as squaring, are evaluated before negation. Example: MX2, evaluates to a negative number (or 0). Use parentheses to square a negative number. Note: Use the ¹ key for subtraction and the Ì key for negation. If you press ¹ to enter a negative number, as in 9 ¯ ¹ 7, or if you press Ì to indicate subtraction, as in 9 Ì 7, an error occurs. If you press ƒ A Ì ƒ B, it is interpreted as implied multiplication (A...MB).
