Default Excel question

pretended :
When I calculate -4^-4 in Excel, I get a positive answer. When I
calculate -4^-4 on my hand held Casio Algebra FX 2.0, I get a
negative answer. This is in a home schooling test where the correct
answer is negative..

Calculating 4^-4 results in a positive answer also.

Expanation?

Thanks,

Ed


Try...

=-(-4^-4)
