Question

Is y=1/4x^0.5 a power function? Explain your reasoning.

Answer 1

Yes because the general form of a power function is f(x)=cx^p, where c and p are real numbers. Since the function satisfies this form, the function is a power function. 

Answer 2

Y = 1/4x^0.5 is a power function because the exponent is a constant.
