How to use the POWER() function in MySQL and MariaDB databases

The POWER() function in MySQL and MariaDB calculates the power of a given base raised to the specified exponent. The function is used when calculations with exponentiation have to be performed, for example compound interest calculations, growth rates or exponential models. The function uses floating point arithmetic, so the precision of the result depends on the underlying data type.
