Function
The function Power (x, y) exponentiates a specified real or complex number x with the specified exponent y. Instead of power (x, y), the expression x y can also be used on the worksheet.
The argument x can be a real or complex number, a list or a table. For data fields, the individual elements of the fields are raised. Note that this also applies to matrices. For Power(M, 2) and M2, no matrix multiplication is performed.
Syntax
Power (x, y)
Power (x+i, y)
Power (List, y)
Power (Table, y)
Example
Power (3, 4) = 81
Power (2+5i, 2) = -21+20i
