According to my expensive Ti83+...


According to my expensive Ti83+...

-3 squared = -9

:roll:

WTF is wrong with these calculators? I tried it on two other Ti83+ SE calculators and they also had the same problem. Do any of you know a fix for it?
Two cupcakes were in an oven. One turned to the other and said "Damn, it sure is hot in here" and the other one said "HOLY SHIT! A TALKING CUPCAKE!"

try (-3)^2. It thinks you want to square 3 and then make it negative, not square -3.

I think there should be a TI-83 with built in paper to electronic ink that does the problems for you without you doing the work! And instataniuosly puts it on your e740SP! :P
