Power Function Any function that can be written in the form f(x) = k·xa, where k and a are nonzero constants, is a power function. The constant a is the power, and the k is the constant of variation, or constant of proportion. We say f(x) varies as the ath power of x, or f(x) is proportional to the ath power of x. Slide 2 - 4
