Group Activity Rational Powers Working in a group of three

Chapter 2, Problem 2.1.1.169

(choose chapter or problem)

Group Activity Rational Powers Working in a group of three students, investigate the behavior of power functions of the form \(f(x)=k \cdot x^{m / n}\), where m and n are positive with no factors in common. Have one group member investigate each of the following cases:

n is even

n is odd and m is even

n is odd and m is odd

For each case, decide whether ƒ is even, ƒ is odd, or ƒ is undefined for \(x<0\). Solve graphically and confirm algebraically in a way to convince the rest of your group and your entire class.
