Default Scientific calculators and powers of 10...

OK, I used my HP 20S all through college and for the life of me I can't remember how to use it to multiply powers of 10. I have another killer test coming up in a couple weeks and I really need to be able to use this function.
Anyone?

That should be the one. My HP 49G (Graphing Calculator) has a little "Y with a superscript x". That is the raised button on my HP. Yours should be similar.

Good Luck

Should have a key that says "yx" with the "x" being raised a bit. I think that is your key. You'd input 10 "yx" 10.

Try it with 2 and 2, or better 2 to the 3rd power...to make sure the key/sequence is correct.
