Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`base`	Number	Yes	The base value
`exponent`	Number	Yes	The power to raise to

Type: Double

The base raised to the power of the exponent.

<p> squared = </p>

Data:

doc.Params["model"] = new {
    value = 5
};

Output:

<p>5 squared = 25</p>

<p>Volume:  cubic units</p>

Data:

doc.Params["model"] = new {
    side = 3
};

Output:

<p>Volume: 27 cubic units</p>

<p>Future Value: $</p>

Data:

doc.Params["model"] = new {
    principal = 1000,
    rate = 0.05,
    years = 10
};

Output:

<p>Future Value: $1628.89</p>

<!-- Cube root using pow(value, 1/3) -->
<p>Cube root of 27: </p>

Output:

<p>Cube root of 27: 3.0</p>
