Functions Where p < 0
Since negative exponents create reciprocals, functions that have an exponent that is less than 0 can be represented by an equation with a variable in the denominator of a fraction. Therefore, can be rewritten as . This type of power function can come in many shapes and will include an asymptote since division by zero is undefined in mathematics.
