Definition – Power Function
fix axn
A power function is a polynomial of the form _____________________________ where n is a whole number, x is a
variable, and a is a real number. Power functions allow us to examine how the degree effects the shape of the
curve around the x-intercept .
Odd Degree Power Functions
y = x3 y = x5 y = x7
As the degree increases, the graph:
-flattens as it approaches the origin, for -1 £ x £ 1 and
-gets steeper for x < -1 and x > 1
