This solution worked, could you explain how you put it together? What does it 
mean to put a sign (x) * ?? Thank you

   I have problems to graph the function
        
x=[-10:1:10]

y = x^(1/3);

plot(x,y);

the same in plot of google gives a graph but scilab does anything with the 
sign.

By default in scilab non-integer power elevation of negative number is made in 
the complex domain. The particular case of the real cubic root can be treated 
like this :
 
y = sign(x).*abs(x)^(1/3);
 
otherwise (-1)^(1/3) gives you one of the complex cubic root of -1, namely 
exp(%i*%pi*1/3)
