3..2..1!!! LeTs BeGiN cHaPtEr 1...

YEAHHH..AT LAST..WE START CHAPTER 1!! DO I SOUND TOO ENTHUSIASTIC??? MAYBE :P SO I'LL JUST COMBINE THE LESSONS WE LEARNED FOR TWO DAYS (25 JULY AND 26 JULY) AS IT IS BOTH ABOUT POWER FUNCTIONS..SO WE LEARNED MANY THINGS TODAY..

THINGS TO REMEMBER ~

EXPONENT OF A POLYNOMIAL FUNCTION MUST BE A POSITIVE WHOLE NUMBER

WHEN THE HIGHEST EXPONENT OF AN EQUATION IS ODD,
DOMAIN = ANY VALUE
RANGE = ANY VALUE
SYMMETRY = POINT (0,0)
END BEHAVIOUR = AS x$\to$$\infty$, y$\to$$\infty$ AS x$\to$-$\infty$, y$\to$-$\infty$

WHEN THE HIGHEST EXPONENT OF AN EQUATION IS EVEN,
DOMAIN = ANY VALUE
RANGE = GREATER OR EQUAL TO ZERO
SYMMETRY = LINE (x=0)
END BEHAVIOUR = AS x$\to$$\infty$, y$\to$$\infty$ AS x$\to$-$\infty$,y$\to$$\infty$

END BEHAVIOUR
EXTENDS FROM QUADRANT 3 TO QUADRANT 1 = ODD EXPONENT, + COEFFICIENT
EXTENDS FROM QUADRANT 2 TO QUADRANT 4 = ODD EXPONENT, - COEFFICIENT
EXTENDS FROM QUADRANT 2 TO QUADRANT 1 = EVEN EXPONENT, + COEFFICIENT
EXTENDS FROM QUADRANT 3 TO QUADRANT 4 = EVEN EXPONENT, - COEFFICIENT
