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 any + or - .
  •   is the power (exponent) value to which the   is raised.
  • Power is also called Exponents or Indices.

  • 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
