+	<title>Powers and Roots</title>
+    
+    <p>
+    Powers are entered by putting a <link xref="superscript">superscript number</link> after the value.
+    </p>
+    <example>
+    <p>
+    5²
+    </p>
+    </example>
+    <p>
+    The inverse of a number can be entered using the inverse symbol ⁻¹ (<keyseq><key>Ctrl</key><key>I</key></keyseq>).
+    </p>
+    <example>
+    <p>
+    3⁻¹
+    </p>
+    </example>
+    <p>
+    Powers can also be calculated using the ^ symbol.
+    This allows the power to be an equation.
+    </p>
+    <example>
+    <p>
+    5^(6−2)
+    </p>
+    </example>
+    <p>
+    If your keyboard does not have a <key>^</key> key you can use <key>*</key> twice.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+    Square roots can be calculated using the  symbol (<keyseq><key>Ctrl</key><key>R</key></keyseq>).
+    </p>
+    <example>
+    <p>
+    √2
+    </p>
+    </example>
+    <p>
+    n-th roots can be calculated by putting a <link xref="superscript">subscript number</link> before the root sign.
+    </p>
+    <example>
+    <p>
+    ₃√2
+    </p>
+    </example>
