What about powers-of-ten entry? I have an earlier calculator in the TI-3x series and exponents require use of a "x10^" key, where the multiplication has the same priority as ordinary multiplication and division. This means that dividing by a number with a power of ten (in normal entry mode) requires brackets, which I kept on forgetting.

Does this calculator behave in the same way?

Thanks.
