23.7.2 What Common Power Functions Look Like
Core idea
x, x², x³, x^(1/2), and x^(−1) each have their own posture, so plot the points and compare their shapes side by side.
Module goal. Abstract a family of power functions from y=x², recognize their shared pattern, and pave the way for exponentials, logarithms, and other new functions ahead.
