Help with Powers
My project involves powers and I'm not sure how to put it into my scripts.
The sum is: 9.23076*((26.7-b)to the power of 1.835)
I can do
([9.23076]*([26.7]-(b)))but I'm not sure how to input the power of 1.835 in blocks. Can anyone help please?
I hope you understand me, but if you don't I'll try to clarify.
Thank You.

Re: Help with Powers
The blocks you need are:
([log v] of (number))
([l10^ v] of (number))
((number) * (number))Using one of the law of logs:
log(a^b) = b*log(a)
you can then raise 10 to the power of this to find the desired power since:
10^(log(a) ) = a
so that your final equation looks like:
([l10^ v] of ((exponent)*([log v] of (base))))

Re: Help with Powers
Sorry, I'm a bit confused. What do you mean by the "base"?
