Total Posts: 260 | It's not a huge "bug" persay, but my TI-89 is using AMS 1.05, and it says that -1^2 is -1. It should be +1.
My only guess is that the calculator is mistaking -1^2 for radical -1^2, otherwords known as i. It just bugs me.
Does this affect the other AMS versions? |

order of operations - the negative comes after the exponent
try (-1)^2

Whoops! Really bad typo there! I meant to type 2.05 not 1.05. Probably why I shouldn't stay up until 3-4AM constantly. (2:46AM now) Although, I think I do in fact have an old 1.05 OS stashed somewhere. :)
I remember the recalled 2.08 messed with game compatibility. Then a new 2.08 was released. What advantagtes does 2.09 hold, and would it affect game compatibility?
I have a HW1 TI-89 so the clock feature is worthless, because I lack the crystal in my hardware. :( |
