    Hi,

    I practice a bit on CBE platform, but still can’t get clear where and how to write if we need square root or digits in power of 2 or etc ?

    It is neither in Excell, nor in word normally possible.

    Thanks!

    For powers you can use the function: =POWER(number,power)
    So 5^3 is: =POWER(5,3)

    For the square roots you can use the function: =SQRT(number)

    For other roots (e.g. the fifth root) use the POWER function, remembering that the 5th root of a number is the same as taking the number to the power of 1/5

    Do check the ACCA resources on the following page (especially the CBE Guidance Document):
