Sections, concepts, and problems

Section 1. The algebra of power functions. Power functions, playing with exponents, extraneous solutions.

Section 2. Limits of power functions. Just like it sounds.

Section 3. Derivatives of power functions. Differentiating and antidifferentiating power functions.

Section 4. Graphs of power functions with integer exponents. The four "types" of such functions; graphing their reciprocals.

Section 5. Graphs of power functions with rational exponents. Types of such functions, their inverses, and modeling graphs with such functions.
