Power Series

What It Does

Generates a sequence of numbers by raising a base value to different powers. It creates values like base^power1, base^power2, etc., allowing you to create exponential progressions like powers of 2 (2⁰, 2¹, 2², 2³...).

Inputs

Name	Description	Type	Required
base	The number to be raised to powers	Number	No
powers	List of exponents to apply to the base	List	No
precision	Number of decimal places to round to	Number	No

Outputs

Name	Description	Type
array	The sequence of power values	List

Power Series Example

How to Use It

1. Drag the Power Series node into your graph.

2. Set the "base" value (default is 2).

3. Set the "powers" array to define the exponents (default is [0, 1, 2, 3]).

4. Set the "precision" for decimal rounding (default is 2).

5. Run the graph—with the default settings, your output will be [1, 2, 4, 8].

Tips

• The powers don't need to be integers—you can use fractions for roots (e.g., 0.5 for square root).

• Powers can be negative to get reciprocals (e.g., 2^-1 = 0.5).

• For binary progressions, use base=2; for decimal, use base=10.

• Exponential Decay: For sequences with exponential decrease.

Use Cases

• Binary Scales: Create powers of 2 (1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32...) for memory or binary-related values.

• Logarithmic Scales: Generate exponential progressions for non-linear scales.

• Growth Modeling: Model exponential growth patterns.

• Data Storage: Generate size values for storage units (KB, MB, GB, TB).
