pandas index does not give expected behaviour when raised to a power

[lingxz]

Code Sample, a copy-pastable example if possible

>>> import pandas as pd
>>> test = list(range(5))
>>> a = pd.Series(test, index=test)
>>> a.index
Int64Index([0, 1, 2, 3, 4], dtype='int64')
>>> 0.5**a.index
Float64Index([0.0, 1.0, 1.41421356237, 1.73205080757, 2.0], dtype='float64')

Problem description

The index doesn't seem to behave properly when it is being raised to the power. It is not giving the correct values. It seems to work well with other operations like multiplication.

Expected Output

Float64Index(array([ 1.    ,  0.5   ,  0.25  ,  0.125 ,  0.0625]), dtype='float64')

Output of pd.show_versions()
