Graph several monomial functions where a = 1 and n is odd. For example, y = x ^ 3, y = x ^ 5 , and so on. Trace along the functions, then check all of the statements that are true about all of these functions.

Which approach to the theory-and-research cycle does the following sequence reflect: (1) specific observations suggest generalizations, (2) generalizations produce a tentative theory, (3) the theory is tested through the formation of hypotheses, and (4) hypotheses may provide suggestions for additional observations?
