How Do You Change The Sign Of The Answer To A Calculation On A Sharp El738?
When I do a calculation and find the answer using the = key and then I use the +- key, the answer does not change sign as it does using a TI calculator. Instead I get something completely different.
Is there a one key solution to changing the sign?
