[Tutor] raising number to a power

[salaiman alrayes]

i'm not an expert, but i have worked with "import math".
i believe if you use import math; it will make you capable of using  
all kinds of math in python (sin,cos,sin^-1......)
i recommend you google "python math" or "python import math", and that  
will take you to the library reference.
its helpful.
