A volcano function is a type of function, that is sometimes listed in a list of commonly encountered 'Parent Functions'.

It is named that because it's graph starts at negative infinity and positive infinity on the x axis and some decimal on the y axis and grows more and more on the y axis as the coordinates get lesser and lesser on the x axis. This forms a volcano shape when the lines collide at some point on the y axis at a dome. This function is a 'floating' function. It may seem like it intersects the x axis, but it hovers over it from several points to only a small fraction of a point.

The formula for a volcano function is f(x)=1/x^2.

It is an even function, which means that it is symmetrical about the y-axis.
