This has nothing to do with the math.Pow function. Dividing two ints (1/13) is not the same as dividing a float by an int (1.0/13). Replace your two `fmt.Printf()` calls with
println(1 / 13) println(1.0 / 13) and observe the difference. The fact that both `math.Pow` arguments are of type `float64` does not affect the division operator. It only causes the result of the division to be coerced to a `float64` if possible. See https://go.dev/ref/spec#Conversions.
