9.25 Calculator Error

Postby Jessica Wakefield 1H » Wed Feb 07, 2018 10:36 pm

When I try to raise 6 to the power of 6.02x10^23 my calculator just says error. Does anyone have any advice/is anyone having the same issue?

Because it is part of the natural log, you can bring 6.03x10^23 down from the exponent so that you are multiplying it instead outside of the natural log. When I did it this way, my calculator was able to process it!
