The generic formula for a power function is f(x)=kxa where k=0 and a=0 are constants. Suppose that a is a negative integer and let b=a. Then we write f as f(x)=kxb=kxb which is a rational function where the numerator is a zero-degree polynomial and the denominator is a bth-degree polynomial.
Thus a. power function will be rational function if the exponent of x is a negative integer.
