The power funciton in math function block does not correctly work.

I choosed the signed power. If the power is even, the output always keeps positive. It works well if the power is not even. I wonder what happens when the power is even. Is it a bug?
The input u this example is a sine wave signal and v is 2, 3, 6, respectively. Please look the scope in the figure, when the power is even, it keeps positive. It is strange. I don't know if this exmaple works correctly on other machines.

There seems to be a bug in the implementation of Signed Power functionality in the case of integer powers. You may consider filing a bug report: https://www.mathworks.com/support/bugreports/report_bug. Meanwhile, you can create your own block using power and sign blocks

When “signed power” is checked, it first calculates the power of absolute value of input and then multiplies it with sign of the input. You can find more on: https://www.mathworks.com/help/simulink/slref/mathfunction.html
