Actually, this formula is for going from cps to cents.  To go
the other way, use:

 F = f * exp( c * log(2) / 1200 )

where f is a starting pitch in cps, c is the number of cents to
change f, and F is the resulting new pitch in cps.  exp() is the
inverse of the log() function.  In all these formulas it doesn't
matter whether you use base 10 logarithms or natural (base "e") 
logarithms, so long as you are consistent.
