(–)

On a Casio calculator you can enter a minus sign

(−)

 


Example 1

To calculate 5 × −2 = −10

 5  × (−)  2  =  5×-2
         -10.
 

 


Example 2

To calculate 2−1 = 0.5

 2  (−)  1  = 2^-1                
0.5   
 

 


Example 3

To store the value −123 in variable A

(−)  1   2   3           RCL  A  -123→A             
-123.   
 

 


Example 4

To calculate cos-1(−1) = π

       cos (−)  1  = cos-1 -1          
  3.141592654   
 

 


Example 5

To calculate (−2)4 = 16

( (−)  2  )  4  = (-2)^4             
16.   
 

When a calculation contains an argument that is a negative number, this negative number must be enclosed within parentheses. The negative sign (−) is treated as a type B function, so particular care is required when the calculation includes a high priority type A function, or power or root operation.

 


Example 6

A negative sign cannot be used to perform a subtraction

 2  (−)  1  2-1_                
0.

Example 7

To calculate 2 − − 1 = 3

 2  (−)  1  = 2− -1_             
3.   
 

 


Example 8

To calculate 3 × 5 × 10−9 = 1.5 × 10−8

 3  ×  5  EXP (−)  9  = 3×5E-9             
1.5×10-08
