8.E-1 = 8E-1 = 8 * 10^-1

This number is somewhat small and most likely, the calculator is trying to display zero. This is just what calculators do. It comes from the fact that they use power series to graph functions like sin(x) and the power series are not entirely accurate. I think this is just a part of the calculator.
