Use of Power and Sqrt Function in Excel Worksheet

Today, we will discuss the use of POWER( ) function and SQRT( ) function in Microsoft Excel Worksheets. We will prepare  a worksheet to practically learn the use of Power () function and Sqrt() function
as shown in the following figure:

The Use of POWER( ) function in MS Excel Worksheet

POWER function may be used to raise a number to a certain power. For example, to calculate number 2 raise to the power of 3, we will type the power function as:
    =POWER(2,3)
which will return the result 8. If the number is in cell B3, we will type the power function as follows:
  =POWER(B2,3)

Steps To Create an Excel Worksheet To Demonstrate Use of Power() and Sqrt() Function

1. Start Microsoft Excel with a new blank workbook.
2. Type the data as shown below in the first worksheet.
3. Perform formatting in Excel worksheet as shown in the following figure.
4. Type data in Column A and Column B of worksheet.
5. In cell C3 of column C , we will type a formula using Power() function to calculate Square of given number.
6. Type = in cell with reference C3.
7. Type POWER(B3,2) and press Enter.
8. Since we have entered number 4 in B3 cell so Power(B3,2) will return 16 in cell C3.

The Use of SQRT( ) function in MS Excel Worksheet

The Excel function SQRT is used to calculate the square root of any number given as its argument.
For example, if you use wish to calculate square root of 4, you will type SQRT function as follows:
  =SQRT(4)   
which will give 2 as a result.
9.   In cell D3 of column D , we will type a formula using Power() function to calculate Cube of given number.
10. Type = in cell with reference D3.
11. Type POWER(B3,3) and press Enter.
12. Since we have entered number 4 in B3 cell so Power(B3,3) will return 64 in cell D3.

14. Type = in cell with reference E3.
15. Type SQRT(B3) and press Enter.
16. Since we have entered number 4 in B3 cell so SQRT(B3) will return 2 in cell E3.

We have completed the task of creating a worksheet in MS Excel using Power function and SQRT() function.

Explain different types of storage devices

Topic: Explain different types of storage devices in Computer systems Storage Devices Storage devices are used to store data and instructions permanently. Storage devices are also called secondary storage devices / backing storage devices / external storage devices or auxiliary storage devices. Examples of storage devices include Hard Disk, CD and DVD etc. Why Secondary Storage Devices are Used? Secondary storage devices are used because: Primary memory(RAM) is volatile and temporary. When computer is switched off, all data in ram is erased. Storage devices can store large amounts of data and instructions permanently whereas Primary memory has less capacity of storing data. Types Of Storage Devices There are three main types of storage devices:  Magnetic Tape   Magnetic Disk   Optical Disk   Flash Memory storage devices 1. Magnetic Tape Magnetic tape is the oldest storage device. It is made of plastic coated with m...

What are Different Types of Computer

Computers can be divided into the following 3 types on the basis of their working mechanism: 1) Analog Computers 2) Digital Computers 3) Hybrid Computers 1. Analog Computers Analog computer is used to measure continuous values. It measures a physical property like voltage, pressure, speed, time and temperature. An analog computer takes input in analog form and gives output in analog form. Its output is usually displayed on a meter or scale. Analog computer has low memory and fewer functions. Analog computer is mainly used in the field of engineering and medicine. Examples include: Examples of Analog Computers include:  1. Thermometer 2. Speedometer 3. Analog clock 2. Digital Computers A digital computer works with digital data. Digital computer uses binary number system. Binary number system consists of only two digits 0 and 1. A digital computer represents data in digital signals. A 0 represents OFF and a 1 represents ON. Digital computer performs a...

What are Dual Devices or Both Input/ Output Devices

The devices that can be used to perform both functions -input and output- are called Dual Devices. These devices are also called Dual Purpose Devices or Both Input/Output Devices. With the help of a dual purpose device, we can enter data into computer as well as we can output data from the computer to outside world.  For example, Dual devices include:  Touch Screen Monitor, Modem, Network Interface Card, Sound card, Hard disk drive, Floppy disk Drive, Magnetic Tape Drive CD-Writer and DVD-Writer etc. These are also called Input/output devices, because they perform both functions. Touch Screen Monitor Dual Devices or Both Input / Output Devices - Touch screens Touch Screen Monitor is an input/output device. It uses a special touch sensitive screen. The User can enter data by touching icons or menus on the screen. As soon as the user selects a command from menu, output is displayed on screen. Commonly touch screen monitors use sensors to detect touch of finger. ...
