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  x⁻¹ = 2⁻¹           
0.5   
 

or with a negative exponent as 2−1 = 0.5

 2  (−)  1  = 2^-1                
0.5   
 

or as the division 1 ÷ 2 = 0.5

 1  ÷  2  = 1÷2          
0.5   
 

or as the fraction 1 / 2 = 0.5

 1  ab/c  2  = 12          
12.   
ab/c 12          
0.5   
 

 


Example 2

To calculate  = 0.707107

   2  x⁻¹ = √2⁻¹          
0.707106781   
 

but you can also enter this as

 2  (−)  1  = √2^−1        
0.707106781   
 

and because  also as

 1  ÷  2  = 1÷√2         
0.707106781   
 

 


Example 3

To enter 0−1

 0  x⁻¹ = Math ERROR 
 
AC
 

Dividing by zero always produces a message.
