Math Operations 0 \ (Reciprocal)-Calculates the reciprocal of the displayed number, which is the same as one divided by the number. 0 ] (Square)-Raises the displayed number to the second power, which is the same as multiplying the number by itself. The number can be any value whose square is in the range of the calculator. 0 k (Square Root)-Calculates the square root of the displayed number. The displayed number must be positive or zero; otherwise, an error condition occurs. The result is always positive. 0 H (Universal Power)-Raises any positive number to any power within the range of the calculator or calculates any root of any positive number within the range of the calculator. To calculate a power: 1. Enter the number (y) that you want to raise to a power. 2. Press 0 H. 3. Enter the power (x). 4. Press l or any key that completes the operation. 10
