on the calculator I need to enter this equation (3.00 x 10 to the eigth power????? how do I do that on the calculator... what button do i hit???
the button that you are describing anon looks like this
$${{\mathtt{x}}}^{{\mathtt{y}}}$$
$$3\times 10\;\; [x^y] \;\;8\;=\\\\$$
on the web2 calc you can just type in
3*10^8 (Just like mathematician said)
Just type: "3 * 10^8"
many calcultors have buttons for that, the one that i have has y to the x power you just type in the first number (in this case 10) then hit that button, then type in eight.if you only have a basic caclulator here's an online one
