Doing "man 3 math" on a DECstation 3100 running 7.3P returns some of
this:
List Of Functions
The cycle counts of all functions are approximate; cycle counts often
depend on the value of argument. The error bound sometimes applies only
to the primary range.

The aforementioned command works fine on a VAXstation 3100. (the entire
