There are a number of formulas that have ^ in them. What does the ^ operator
mean?? i.e. $Z$4^2
 
Raise to a power.

=$Z$4^2 is the same as =POWER($Z$4,2) or =$Z$4*$Z$4^2 or $Z$4 squared

=2^4 is the same as =2*2*2*2
 
the ^ (caret symbol) is used for exponentiation... in your example the value
in cell Z4 is being squared.
