double cubed = Math.pow(2, power);

for cubed I would use double cubed = x * x * x;

Math.pow works by taking logs and exponentials, each of which is
computed with a whacking huge polynomial approximation. With the
arithmetic method, you don't lose precision on doubles that happen to
be perfect ints.
