Summary  
This chapter covers using built-in mathematical functions to compute square roots and perform exponentiation on numeric values.  

General domain of usage  
Geometric calculations

The **SQRT** function calculates the square root of a number. It returns a positive value that, when squared, equals the original number. This function is useful for geometric calculations, speed or acceleration measurements, and other mathematical operations involving squares and roots.




## **Calculating Powers**

The **POWER** function raises a number to a specified exponent. This is useful for calculations involving progressions, scaling, compound interest, and any operations requiring exponentiation.

### **Task: Understanding SQRT and POWER Functions**  

You have the following formulas in your spreadsheet:  

| A  | Formula | Expected Result |
|----|---------|----------------|
| 25 | `=SQRT(A1)` | ? |
| 2  | `=POWER(A2, 3)` | ? |
| -8 | `=POWER(A3, 1/3)` | ? |

Which of the following answer choices correctly fills in the expected results for each formula?
