Use the tables to determine the degree of the power function 

### Title: Determining the Degree of a Power Function

#### Description:

To determine the degree of a power function using tabulated data, you can analyze how changes in the variable \(x\) affect the function \(f(x)\). 

#### Table:

The provided table includes the values of \(x\) and the corresponding \(f(x)\):

| \(x\) | \(f(x)\) |
|------|--------|
| \(-3\) | \(-23\) |
| \(-2\) | \(-4\)  |
| \(-1\) | 3      |
| 0    | 4      |
| 1    | 5      |
| 2    | 12     |
| 3    | 31     |

#### Analysis:

To find the degree of the power function, observe how \(f(x)\) changes with \(x\). Check successive differences between the \(f(x)\) values to understand how \(f(x)\) is related to powers of \(x\).

#### Conclusion:

Explore the pattern of changes (differences) to identify whether the relationship between \(x\) and \(f(x)\) follows a constant, linear, quadratic, or higher power pattern. This will help you determine the degree of the power function.
