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.

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. ...

Advantages and Disadvantages of Tree Topology

Tree Topology Actually, a Tree topology is the combination of two topologies: bus topology   and star topology . A tree topology combines the characteristics of bus and star topologies. It consists of groups of computer connected as star topology. These groups are then connected to a central communication medium (bus cable). Advantages and Disadvantages of Tree Network Topology Advantages of Tree Network Topology 1. Many software and hardware vendors support tree topology . 2. It provides point-to-point wiring for individual groups. Disadvantages of Tree Network Topology 1. If the main backbone line breaks, the entire tree network goes down . 2. A tree network is more difficult to configure and maintain. 3. If any hub fails, related segment will be removed from the network.
