How do scientific calculators label the exponent key?
I'm writing a handout for my students on how to handle scientific notation with their calculators. Many calculators have a button labeled "EE" or "Exp". I want to know if there are any other labels that are often used.
(In case you're curious, I'm a college science professor, and many of my students, even the science majors, don't know how to use their calculators! They often use the y^x key to enter numbers in scientific notation, which of course will work but it takes longer. They have no idea that there's an easier way to do it.)
Thanks, Abhishek, but that's not the key I'm talking about. That's a generic power key, like y^x, that takes longer to use.
