## Math Pow
`Math.pow()` returns the value of a number to the power of another number.
#### Syntax
`Math.pow(base, exponent)`, where `base` is the base number and `exponent` is the number by which to raise the `base`.
`pow()` is a static method of `Math`, therefore it is always called as `Math.pow()` rather than as a method on another object.
#### Examples
```js
Math.pow(5, 2); // 25
Math.pow(7, 4); // 2401
Math.pow(9, 0.5); // 3
Math.pow(-8, 2); // 64
Math.pow(-4, 3); // -64
```
