POW (Function)

is a function which takes two numerical parameters, and calculates  raised to the power of. If  is a noninteger number, and   is negative, the system generates an   error. If only one parameter is given, the system makes ; if one or both of the parameters is a string, the system gives a   error; if three or more parameters are given, the system makes a   error.

always gives 1. always gives, except when X is 524287.999755859375; then, the system generates an   error, for absolutely no good reason.

Since  has two parameters, it essentially has two inverses. Given the result of a  calculation (call it  ), and ,   can be calculated by using. Given  and ,   can be calculated by using.
