Element-wise exponentiation returning incorrect answers

I am trying to write a simple program to get acquainted with MATLAB, and I am having an error where I am trying to square a matrix element-wise and it is giving me incorrect numbers. The strange thing is that it does the math correctly if I don't include the step where I multiply my matrix by a scalar. Code and outputs are attached; first output is the initial matrix, second output is the matrix after the scalar is applied, third is after the attempted exponentiation. Thank you in advance for reading what is probably a stupid question.

In the future, always post code as regular text highlighted by the CODE button. We can copy and run text code. We can't copy and run images of code.

Just noticed that the results are correct, just scaled down by a factor of 1000. Feel a bit stupid now. NVM
