Not every function has its special name. Unlike the sine function and the exponential function, for example, this is not a function that is commonly used in science and technology, so (as far as I know) it doesn't have a name of its own.

∙ 7y agoThere is no specific name. It is sometimes called the power function but in that respect, it is no different from 6^x.

What is the difference be a polynomial function and an exponential function?
In a polynomial function, the variable x is raised to some integer power. f(x) = 5x³ + 8x⁵ g(x) = (x + 5)² In an exponential function, some real number is raised to the power of variable x or some function of x f(x) = 5ˣ g(x) = eˣ⁺²
How do you know if an equation is a linear function?
A linear function has and x and a y and neither one is raised to a power other than 1.
How do you know a function is linear?
If the variable x is raised to the power of 1 or 0. No other possibilities.
What is the root of the function in the math problem f of x?
f(x) = ...f is the name of the function, and x is the variable. I guess you could say x is the root of the function, because it is what the function relies on.
What is the correct answer for the equation x raised to -2 multiplied by x raised to -2?
0
What is the integral of a function of x raised to the power of n multiplied by the derivative with respect to x of that same function of x with respect to x?
∫ f(x)nf'(x) dx = f(x)n + 1/(n + 1) + C n ≠-1 C is the constant of integration.
What has the exact same variable raised to the same exponent?
An expression that has the same variable raised to the same exponent is x^x. This expression does not have a formal name, however it is worth noting that x^x = e^xlnx.
What is another name for a zero of a function?
x-intercept
What is another name for the root of a function?
The "root" of a function is also called the "zero" of a function. This is where the function equals zero. The function y=4-x2 has roots at x=2 and x=-2 The function y=4-x2 has zeroes at x=2 and x=-2 Those are equivalent statements.
What is an exponential function?
anything raised to the power of x, f(x) = 2^x and f(x) = e^x are common examples. The exponential function, f(x)=e^x is the most important function in mathematics. One of the most important properties of the exponential function is: f ( X + Y ) = f (X) * f (Y) It is defined as Exp(X) = 1 + X + X^2/2! + X^3/3! + . . . exponential functions of other bases can be defined as follows: B^X = Exp (XlogB) where log is the inverse of Exp.
A logarithmic function is the same as an exponential function?
Apex: false A logarithmic function is not the same as an exponential function, but they are closely related. Logarithmic functions are the inverses of their respective exponential functions. For the function y=ln(x), its inverse is x=ey For the function y=log3(x), its inverse is x=3y For the function y=4x, its inverse is x=log4(y) For the function y=ln(x-2), its inverse is x=ey+2 By using the properties of logarithms, especially the fact that a number raised to a logarithm of base itself equals the argument of the logarithm: aloga(b)=b you can see that an exponential function with x as the independent variable of the form y=f(x) can be transformed into a function with y as the independent variable, x=f(y), by making it a logarithmic function. For a generalization: y=ax transforms to x=loga(y) and vice-versa Graphically, the logarithmic function is the corresponding exponential function reflected by the line y = x.
Why doesnt the function y ex ever cross the x-axis?
no number can be raised to a power and equal 0 (x^y can never = 0). e is positive (about 2.7) and any positive number can not be raised to a power and equal negative (positive number X positive number = positive number)
