 numberThe base number (any real number).
 powerThe exponent to which you want the base raised to.

 REMARKS
 
  		• The "^" operator can be used instead of this function to indicate to what power the base number is to be raised, such as in 5^2.
     
  		• There are two ways to calculate the power of a number typing "10^4" or "=POWER(10,4)".

     EXAMPLES
     
     A
    1=POWER(2,2) = 4
    2=POWER(5,2) = 25
    3=POWER(98.6,3.2) = 2401077
    4=POWER(4,5/4) = 5.657
