Answer and Step-by-step explanation: Power Functions are of the form:


f(x)=ax^(b)

where a is scaling factor, which means, it moves the values of
x^(b) up or down;

and b is exponent or power, which determines the rate of growth or decay of the function.

The difference between exponential and power functions, is that in power functions, a variable base is elevated to a fixed exponent.

For that reason, Equations:

A.
f(x)=2^(4√(x) )

B.
f(x)=(\pi)/(x)

C.
f(x)=2.3^(x)

D.
f(x)=2^(3√(x) )

are NOT power functions.
