Trying to calculate (a+b)^n where n is a real value in a BigDecimal variable, but BigDecimal.pow is designed for accept only integer values.
If the input is within the magnitude range supported by double, and you do not need more than 15 significant digits in the result, convert (a+b) and n to double, use Math.pow, and convert the result back to BigDecimal.
