  • is the base value
  • is the power value

Description

  • 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 ^ operator instead of POWER function.

Examples

  1. =POWER(17,4) = 83521
  2. =POWER(26,1) = 26
  3. =POWER(5.2,3) = 140.608
  4. =POWER(6,0.2) = 1.430969081
  5. =POWER(2,3/4) = 1.681792831
  6. =POWER(50,0) = 1
  7. =POWER(7,-2) = 0.020408163
