list
Returns the first argument raised to the power of
the second argument.
For a list, returns the elements in
list1
raised to
the power of the corresponding elements in
list2
.
In the real domain, fractional powers that have
reduced exponents with odd denominators use
the real branch versus the principal branch for
complex mode.

power.
squareMatrix1
must be a square matrix.
If
integer
= ë1, computes the inverse matrix.
If
integer
< ë1, computes the inverse matrix to an
appropriate positive power.
