When I used the negative sign before the 1 and raised it to the
power 3/4 as a fraction I got the invalid tone with 0. When I
tried it with out knowing it needed to be negative I got 1. I am
not sure how to reproduce a fraction on the qt in like an email
because to do this on the calculator the control and slash keys
need to be held down to creatate the fraction indicators.

Malaina and Alex,
When you got the 0 result, (assuming you always had speech on),
did you always get the invalid tone?
I don't know anything about nemeth.
I'm using UK Braille, and am not even sure what calculator maths
code I am using, so I hope the following comes out ok--I'll
perhaps try to explain in computer code equivalent.
I tried -1x(3/4) and got -1.
I then tried <negative 1>x(3/4) and got 0 and the invalid tone.
(In the above I used the dots 3-4-6 instead of "x" to raise to
the power, and made the <negative 1> by preceeding 1 with
<space>3-6).
The calculator is perhaps trying to do (-1)x(3/4), and getting
upset.
I tried to explicitly ask it to do that, and got the invalid tone
when entering the minus sign after the open bracket--(it didn't
accept the minus).
Regards,
Steve.

Ok. On the qt things are written differently the x for the power
sign is dots 45 in nemeth code. When I was writing in the emails
how I wrote it in the keyplus I was using the nemeth fraction
indicators. I tried it again using negative 1 to the 3/4 as a
fraction and got 0.
I am using an mpower qt with keysoft 7.5 build 28.

No, NEGATIVE 1 to the 3/4 (3/4 entered as a fraction). As in (in
Nemeth):
space-3-6 2 4-5 1-4-5 backspace-3-ard 1-4 enter
You should see 0. If not, which ks version do you have? I should
mention that this happens to me on an mpower bt with ks7.5.27.
Have a great day,
Alex

Alex I just tried your example on my qt and I got the answer of
1. You said it was 1 to the power of 4/3? When I did that the
answer came up as 1.

When I raise ?1 to the power of 4/3, I get 0; I should get 1.
This is not good; it gave me wrong anwsers for a lot of my
calculus homework. Just glad it is not graded on the answers,
just on effort.
Have a great day,
Alex
