Definition

An odd positive power function is a function of the form:

xxn

where n is an odd positive integer, i.e., n=2k+1 where k is a nonnegative integer.

Particular cases

k n=2k+1 xxn
0 1 identity function (this behaves anomalously, i.e., different from the other odd positive power functions)
1 3 cube function
2 5 fifth power function
3 7 seventh power function
