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...
