Rational exponents

We extend the definition of power of positive integer exponent and their inversas and we consider positive rational exponents:

Dragging the point we can see different power functions.

The powers of natural exponent are the base of the polynomials. We can consider the polynomic function that passes through a series of points of the plane. This is an interpolation problem that is solved here using the Lagrange interpolating polynomial.
