If a calculation contains a negative number, you may need to place brackets around the negative number.
For example, if you want to calculate –2 to the power of 6, you need to input (− 2)6.

(− 2)6 (–2 to the power of 6)


64

If the brackets are excluded, the calculator computes 2 to the power of 6 first, then applies the negative. This is because the power function comes before the negative function in the order of operations. This gives a different result.

  • Essay on Setting Up A Moral System

    ...The installation of a moral system is vital in every society. Yet, every moral system must deal with the major conflicting general moral issues: Consequentialism versus Non-consequentialism; Self versus Other-Interestedness; Act Utilitarianism versus Rule Utilitarianism; and Emotion versus reason. When all four areas are combined and examined there are conflicting views that must be resolved. First of all, there is the issue of Consequentialism and Non-consequentialism. Consequentialism is best described by utilitarianism, where decisions are based on the consequences of the outcome of the decision made. On the other hand, non-consequentialism is best described as an ethical theory that is based not on the consequences of the action, but on some higher moral standard that is placed upon them. Examples of non-consequentialism are Kant's Duty Ethics and Divine Command Theory. The conflict between the two is whether to do what is best according to the outcome or follow what one feels as the higher moral standard would require them to adhere to. Personally, I would resolve this area by choosing the consequentialist belief as my tool for judgement because I feel that people need to think about the consequences of their actions because if they don't then it will cause havoc in the society. Thus, I feel that consequentialism is the proper solution in this area. Secondly, there is the conflict between Self versus Other-Interestedness. The concept of self is best...

  • Setting Up a Tent Research Paper

    ...Setting Up A Tent One of my favorite things I like to do in my spare time is go backpacking and hiking, mostly on the AT (Appalachian Trail). I normally like to go out for trips lasting multiple days. I carry all the supplies I need and equipment necessary for surviving the weather and hiking the terrain. One of the important pieces of equipment to have for extended backpacking trips is my tent. Setting up my tent has made a difference between a comfortable night’s stay and a night I did not want to repeat. Before I go backpacking I get all my gear out and decide what I need for the trip. I make my decisions based on what time of year it is and the weather forecast. I pack enough food for the number of days I will be out, cooking supplies, extra clothes and the temperature appropriate sleeping bag. The piece of equipment that I always take regardless of the weather is my backpacking tent. I make sure that all the pieces are in the bag before I go on a trip: the tent body, which is the main part with the screen with the tent floor, the fly, which is the solid piece that covers the tent body to protect from wind and rain, and of course the stakes and poles. In May of 2009 I went on a five day trip on the AT heading south from Waynesboro, VA. The first day I dropped my car near Buena Vista, VA and someone drove me to the AT crossing near Waynesboro. The first section of the trip was only about 5 miles...

  • Setting Up Business Globally Essay

    ...the organizational silos that prevent the flow of information throughout the organization. For companies to perform faster and with more flexibility, knowledge and experience must be readily available—or, even better, proactively delivered - to the right people at the right time. In many cases, the innovation required to meet a new marketplace challenge exists somewhere in the organization; the challenge is tapping into it. In order to identify and recruit talents in Ukraine I think that you would have to actually go there in person. Before arriving you should find at least two local headhunter firms, rather than putting all your eggs into one basket. They would have local Ukrainian candidates for leadership and management positions lined up, and ready to interview upon arrival. To be successful recruiting and keeping good talent the leadership roles should be locals. They should not be US expatriates running the office. After doing a bit of research it is has been found that too often corporate America makes a mistake by sending a US person to run an office overseas. The reason this is important is because subordinates tend to trust locals or their own more than foreigners. The United States is an exception to that because we are the melting pot. In other countries foreigners in business are trusted less than locals. Frequent visits to the international office helps keep and recruit good talent. In fact expatriates should live and work in the international...
