POWER(n,p)
- is the base value
- is the power value
is the base value
is the power valueDescription
- This function gives the value of a number raised to a power.
- The power of a number indicating how many times we have to multiply the number.
- For e.g =POWER(4,3) = 4*4*4 = 63.
- In , is the base value. It can be + or - .
- is the power(exponent) value to which the is raised.
- Power is also called Exponents or Indices.
- Anything raised to the power 0 is equal to 1. i.e. POWER(7,0) = 1.
- We can use the <math>^<math> operator instead of POWER function.
, Examples
- POWER(17,4)=83521
- POWER(26,1)=26
- POWER(5.2,3)=140.608
- POWER(6,0.2)=1.430969081
- POWER(2,3/4)=1.681792831
- POWER(50,0)=1
- POWER(7,-2)=0.020408163
