Properties of y=xny=x^n for natural nn
On (0,+)(0,+\infty) the function y=xny=x^n is strictly increasing for any nNn\in\mathbb{N}. On (,0)(-\infty,0) for even nn it decreases (“bowl” symmetry); for odd nn it increases again (branches through the origin). The point (0;0)(0;0) for n>1n>1 is special: flatter touch of the xx-axis for larger even nn; the familiar inflection of the cubic.
Global minimum of y=xny=x^n for even nn is at x=0x=0; for odd n>1n>1 no extremum on the whole axis
