Assuming you compiled your C source file "Potencia.c" using the following command:
gcc Potentia.c
The resulting executable file should be in the same directory as the source file, named "a.out". So you should run it by typing "./a.out" (or simply "a.out" if the current directory "." is in your $PATH).
If you want to name the executable produced by the compiler differently, compile it using the "-o" gcc option, for example:
gcc -o Potentia Potentia.c

PS: "man gcc" is your friend...
