Power function
A power function is defined by the general expression f(x)=axn where the exponent n can be a whole or a real number (positive or negative). The coefficient a is a real number.
This simulation allows us to see the influence of the parameters a and n on the shape of the curve f(x) and study the following characteristics:
- the scale factor,
- the limits at infinity or the point of divergence,
- the domain,
- the asymptotes,
Change the settings a and n to analyze characteristics of some functions such as the quadratic, cube, inverse, or root functions… recognize their characteristic shapes such as the parabola or hyperbole.
