Power function, its properties and graph presentation for an algebra lesson (grade 10) on the topic. Power function, its properties and graphs Power function definition and graphs

Are you familiar with the functions y=x, y=x 2 , y=x 3 , y=1/x etc. All these functions are special cases of the power function, i.e. the function y=x p, where p is a given real number. The properties and graph of a power function significantly depend on the properties of a power with a real exponent, and in particular on the values ​​for which x And p degree makes sense x p. Let us proceed to a similar consideration of various cases depending on the exponent p.

    Index p=2n-even natural number.

In this case, the power function y=x 2n, Where n- a natural number, has the following

properties:

    domain of definition - all real numbers, i.e. the set R;

    set of values ​​- non-negative numbers, i.e. y is greater than or equal to 0;

    function y=x 2n even, because x 2n =(-x) 2n

    the function is decreasing on the interval x<0 and increasing on the interval x>0.

Graph of a function y=x 2n has the same form as, for example, the graph of a function y=x 4 .

2. Indicator p=2n-1- odd natural number In this case, the power function y=x 2n-1, where is a natural number, has the following properties:

    domain of definition - set R;

    set of values ​​- set R;

    function y=x 2n-1 odd because (- x) 2n-1 =x 2n-1 ;

    the function is increasing on the entire real axis.

Graph of a function y=x2n-1 has the same form as, for example, the graph of a function y=x3.

3.Indicator p=-2n, Where n- natural number.

In this case, the power function y=x -2n =1/x 2n has the following properties:

    set of values ​​- positive numbers y>0;

    function y =1/x 2n even, because 1/(-x) 2n =1/x 2n ;

    the function is increasing on the interval x<0 и убывающей на промежутке x>0.

Graph of function y =1/x 2n has the same form as, for example, the graph of the function y =1/x 2 .

4.Indicator p=-(2n-1), Where n- natural number. In this case, the power function y=x -(2n-1) has the following properties:

    domain of definition - set R, except x=0;

    set of values ​​- set R, except y=0;

    function y=x -(2n-1) odd because (- x) -(2n-1) =-x -(2n-1) ;

    the function is decreasing on intervals x<0 And x>0.

Graph of a function y=x -(2n-1) has the same form as, for example, the graph of a function y=1/x 3 .

Reverse trigonometric functions, their properties and graphs.Inverse trigonometric functions (circular functions, arc functions) - mathematical functions that are the inverse of trigonometric functions.

    1. arcsin function

Graph of a function .

Arcsine numbers m this angle value is called x, for which

The function is continuous and bounded along its entire number line. Function is strictly increasing.

      1. [Edit]Properties of the arcsin function

      1. [Edit]Getting the arcsin function

Given the function Throughout its entire domain of definition she happens to be piecewise monotonic, and, therefore, the inverse correspondence is not a function. Therefore, we will consider the segment on which it strictly increases and takes on all values range of values- . Since for a function on an interval each value of the argument corresponds to a single value of the function, then on this interval there is inverse function whose graph is symmetrical to the graph of a function on a segment relative to a straight line

On the domain of definition of the power function y = x p the following formulas hold:

Properties of power functions and their graphs

Power function with exponent equal to zero, p = 0

Let the denominator of the fractional exponent be even: m = 2, 4, 6, ... . In this case, the power function x p is not defined for negative values ​​of the argument. Its properties coincide with the properties of a power function with an irrational exponent (see the next section).

Power function with irrational exponent

Consider a power function y = x p with an irrational exponent p. The properties of such functions differ from those discussed above in that they are not defined for negative values ​​of the argument x.
