A power function is generally of the form \( f(x) = k \cdot x^n \), where \( k \) is a constant and \( n \) is a real number.
Let's analyze each of the provided options:
A. \( f = 7^x \)
- This is an exponential function, not a power function. **Not a power function.**
B. \( y = 7x^4 \)
- This can be rewritten as \( y = 7 \cdot x^4 \), which fits the form of a power function. **Is a power function.**
C. \( g(x) = x^{1/4} \)
- This also fits the form of a power function with \( k = 1 \) and \( n = 1/4 \). **Is a power function.**
D. \( d = q^4 \)
- This can be rewritten as \( d = 1 \cdot q^4 \), which fits the form of a power function. **Is a power function.**
### Summary:
- **Is a power function:** B, C, D
- **Not a power function:** A
