I know that there is lg function for logarithm base 2.
I tried several ways of inputting my formula:
lg(-3/6)
-3/6 lg
Always gives me NaN
How do I do it?

IIRC, the logarithm function is only defined for strictly positive numbers. So that SpeedCrunch can't give you an answer any more than if you asked for the result of 3/0 :-)
