Hiya all,
If you see a formula like this 100 * 1.69 ^ 0.1, what does '^' represent/means?
Thanks |
2 ^ 3 = 2 * 2 * 2 so 2 ^ (1 + 1 + 1)
I know the french word but not sure for the international one! |
| The french word of "^" is puissance! |
∧
logical conjunction or meet in a lattice
and; min; meet
propositional logic, lattice theory
The statement A ∧ B is true if A and B are both true; else it is false.
For functions A(x) and B(x), A(x) ∧ B(x) is used to mean min(A(x), B(x)). n < 4 ∧ n >2 ⇔ n = 3 when n is a natural number.
wedge product
wedge product; exterior product
linear algebra
u ∧ v means the wedge product of vectors u and v. This generalizes the cross product to higher dimensions.
(For vectors in R3, × can also be used.)
exponentiation
… (raised) to the power of …
everywhere
a ^ b means a raised to the power of b
(a ^ b is more commonly written ab. The symbol ^ is generally used in programming languages where ease of typing and use of plain ASCII text is preferred.) 2^3 = 23 = 8 |
In simple terms ^ is for "raised to the power of"
ie 4^2 is teh same as 4 squared - ie 16
4^3 is 4 cubed ie 64
in word you could achieve teh same thing by putting teh number as superscript, though you cannot do this in this text formatting. |
2 ^ 3 = 2 * 2 * 2 so 2 ^ (1 + 1 + 1)
yes, I know now it means "to the power of", but if it's not a whole/full number, like in my example, a decimal number, how to calculate using my calculator? I don't see a button with that symbol there ! haha.. |
calculator go under view use scientific option
100 * 1.69 ^ 0.1=105.39 |
So in a scientific calculator, there's a '^' button?
Really? Seriously? Mine don't have it ! hahaha.. |
| x^y button there i think |
Sorry and yes it must. Lauch the windows calculator and Switch to the scientist version, you will find the ^
Good luck mate! |
Write it in google and it will come up with the answer.
Another way is excel, write: =x^y |
for Jedi-Knight:
You need a better scientific calculator. As far as I know all scientific calculators have the ^ function. Or you can just use google or any number of online calculators. :) |
for Pantheon:
Yep, you are right. I just threw it in my dustbin. :D
kk, I think I got it now.. I think. :p
So let's see if I got this right.
We all know that some players will ask for hunt assist to minimize their hunt growth. And most will kill 20% of the stacks to get a 10% increase in the next hunt, and leave the rest of the 80% for the assistant to kill.
So, if my maths is correct, even if the main hunter kills 40%, the next hunt increase will still be... (close to) 10%?
So (almost negligible) difference with killing 20% or 40% of hunt stacks?
Does that make sense, or is my maths... wrong? :p |

for togort:
That's what I meant. So killing 40% gives an increase of slightly over 10%.
So killing 20% or 40% makes almost no difference to the increment for the next hunt. |
i will suggest you to still use fsp to math your needed :
1% of creatures killed = 0.005 fsp
With this you can math your troops amount and fsp converted!
Good luck! |

I didn't kill 100%, yet I got 0.49 (Practically 0.5) . . . I guess that formula might just be inaccurate under certain circumstances . . . ? |
#17 this is for Won fight! In your case it s not the same.
The thread is about the next amount or troops so fight won. |
| In your calculator u have a button like x2 x and a little 2 on top of it.. that means square;) |

Don't think he is looking for squared. But "Exponentiation" this is normally made by the internationally symbols ^ or in superscript. Another common sign of it is the English shorten version EXP. |
