i need to calcualte something like
-12.567 ^ -0.256
a normal pow(-12.567,-0.256) doesnt work obviously. I can still make it pow(-12.567,-0.256) if i use a recoprocal, bnut still the pow statement doesnt work,...
my question is that is -12.567^-0.256==(-1^-0.256)*(12.567^-0.256) ???
and is -1 raised to any negative decimal power equla to -1 ???
is this is the case then i can use the absolute value and calculate it
