2. Create a script named Project5-5 in the $HOME/bin directory.

Compute the answer, A, as x raised to the yth power, and then display the answer.
4. Unset the variable with the unset command.
5. Save the script, close the editor, make the script executable, and then execute the script.
6. Close your window, and then log out.
