POWER(n,p)

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 $POWER(n,p)$ , $n$ is the base value. It can be + or - .
$p$ is the power(exponent) value to which the $n$ 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 Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle ^} operator instead of POWER function.

POWER(17,4)=83521
