Error found in the calculator aplication of google

Reported by jakubkon...@gmail.com, Feb 14 2018

Issue description

Hello,

I have found an error in calculator aplication of google chrome and I want to report it. Unfortunately, there is no way to report other than secucrity bug...

When you use mathematical operation of exponentiation, if the base b < 0 and the exponent n is even the result should > 0. But in google's calculator it is not. Please see attached photo. In example: (-3)^8 should equal (6561) and NOT (-6561). 
Please tell me if I should report it somewhere else, as this bug needs to be fixed. Thanks :)

Best Regards,
Jakub

FWIW, you'll note that Bing and Wulfram Alpha's calculators give the same result, while (-3)^8 gives a positive result.
Hi,

Yes, Wolfram gives possitive result, while chrome's calculator negaite, so it does not work. (see previous attachment)
