Description

   pow() raises a floating-point base x to a floating-point exponent
   y. The value of pow(x,y) is computed as e**(y ln(x)) for positive
   x. If x is 0 or negative, see your language reference manual.

   Passing a NaN input value to pow() produces a NaN result for
   nonzero values of y. For pow(NaN,0), see your language reference
   manual.
