<para>When you click <guibutton>Exp</guibutton>, the calculator displays <literal>. +</literal> to represent

<para>To change the sign of the number, use the <guibutton>+/-</guibutton> button before the <guibutton>Exp</guibutton> button.
How you change the sign of the exponent (the power to which the number is raised) depends on whether you are in
arithmetic precedence mode or not. In arithmetic precedence mode, use <guibutton>-</guibutton> after the
<guibutton>Exp</guibutton> button, otherwise use the <guibutton>+/-</guibutton> button
after entering the exponent.</para>

<para>To enter a decimal number in exponential format, in arithmetic precedence mode, use the guidelines in the following table: </para>
