Consider the types of both (^) and (/). Then take a look at

  https://www.haskell.org/onlinereport/haskell2010/haskell2x.png

and compare with your error message. Note especially that there is no
connection from Integral to Fractional or vice versa.

As a solution use either the already suggested (**) or fromIntegral
(mind the last subsection of 
https://www.haskell.org/onlinereport/haskell2010/haskellch6.html )
