Best Answer

At most n-1. However, it can be a lot fewer.

For example, calculating A10 does not require 9 multiplications.

A*A = A2

A2*A2 = A4

A4*A4 = A8

A8*A2 = A10

Only 4 multiplications were required.

How do you compute electrical power required for pumps?

In order to compute electrical power required for pumps, the following formula can be used. P(h)=q*p*g*h/3.6*10^6, where P is the hydraulic power, q is the flow capacity, p is the density of the fluid, h is the differential headÊand g is the gravity (9.81). Alternately, calculators can also be used.

What is the power of a matrix?

If n is a natural number and M is a matrix, then Mn denotes the matrix M multiplied by itself n times. We can include n=0, but that is just the identity matrix. So the power of a matrix is very similar to the exponents that are used for numbers.


Where do computing terminals with no power get their ability to compute?
