X-1
On a Casio calculator you can obtain the reciprocal of a number
X-1
Example 1
To calculate the reciprocal of 2 as 2−1 = 0.5
2-1
0.52 X-1 =
or with a negative exponent as 2−1 = 0.5
2xy-1
0.52 Xy (−) 1 =
or as the division 1 ÷ 2 = 0.5
1÷2
0.51 ÷ 2 =
or as the fraction 1 / 2 = 0.5
1┘2
1┘2.1┘2
0.51 a b/c 2 = a b/c
Example 2
To calculate = 0.707107
√2-1
0.707106781√ 2 X-1 =
but you can also enter this as
√2xy−1
0.707106781√ 2 Xy − 1 =
and because also as
1÷√2
0.7071067811 ÷ √ 2 =
Example 3
To enter 0−1
Ma ERROR
0 X-1 = AC/ON
Dividing by zero always produces a message.
