Long, long ago, I was watching an episode of TOS when a character usually or often on the bridge of the Enterprise made a comment about raising 1 [sic]
to some power. I don't remember who it was, or what point he was endeavoring to make -- I do remember that the comment was not ironic -- but it sure was a low point in Star Trek for me. That I just groaned and continued to watch says multitudes about the addictive power of Star Trek.
Who said this, and in what context? (Actually, after so many decades, I can't be 100% positive it was in TOS.)

"Court Martial" (TOS 1x15)
Kirk is facing a court martial. In his defense, the Enterprise crew are trying to find someone hiding aboard the ship.
From the transcript:
KIRK: Gentlemen, this computer has an auditory sensor. It can, in effect, hear sounds. By installing a booster, we can increase that capability on the order of one to the fourth power. The computer should bring us every sound occurring on the ship.
Kirk says the line in this video clip, starting at the 55-second mark:

He could conceivably be saying that it will boat the signal somewhere between doubling it and quadrupling it. But that's a charitable, non-mathematical interpretation.

@ab2 — I think that Kirk tries to be serious, but Spock was right there and couldn't interrupt to correct him. (I didn't remember the exact reference, but a Google search fortrek kirk "one" "power" site:chakoteya.netbrought it up.)
