I'm not sure what you mean by "the number e", but for exponents, pow(3,2) is equivalent to 3^2.

EDIT: Make sure that pow() uses arguments that are double or float type, they both must be the same type. It's return value is also a double or float type.

If you are going to display the output of pow(), make sure you use the %f specifier (if you are coding in C).
