a. Graph the functions f(x) = xn for n = 2, 4, and 6 in a [−2, 2,1] by [-1, 3,1] viewing rectangle.

b. Graph the functions f(x) = xn for n = 1, 3, and 5 in a [−2, 2,1] by [−2, 2,1] viewing rectangle.

c. If n is positive and even, where is the graph of f(x) = xnincreasing and where is it decreasing?

d. If n is positive and odd, what can you conclude about the graph of f(x) = xn in terms of increasing or decreasing behavior?

e. Graph all six functions in a [−1, 3,1] by [−1, 3,1] viewing rectangle. What do you observe about the graphs in terms of how flat or how steep they are?
