Hi, I know what complex number are, but I am not sure what you meant by that?
##############CODES########### > 2.5^(-2.4) [1] 0.1109032 > -2.5^(-2.4) [1] -0.1109032 ##############CODES########### works fine. Negative powers mean they take the reciprocal and as far as I am concerned, real^real is just a real number. Am I mistaking something basic? Thanks.
