How can you tell whether the gradient of a curve is increasing or decreasing?

Differentiate the curve twice and then enter a value for x. If the answer is positive, the gradient is increasing at that point. If the answer is negative, the gradient is decreasing at that point. And if the answer is zero, the gradient is not changing.

How want to know that the gradient of a curve in displacement-time graph is increasing or decreasing?
If the gradient is a positive number the curve is increasing, and if the gradient is a negative number it is decreasing.
How you know that the gradient of a curve increasing or decreasing?
Graph it - if it's curving up then the gradient is increasing. OR take it's derivitive.
Types of opportunity cost using production possibility curve?
constant, decreasing and increasing
How can the production possibilities curve illustrate opportunity cost?
It shows weather the item you are talking about is increasing or decreasing.
How does a production possibilities curve illustrate Opportunity costs?
It shows weather the item you are talking about is increasing or decreasing.
Explain 'u' shape of ac curve?
asthe current is continuosly changing in a uniform manner alternatively increasing and decreasing.
Why is the Marginal cost curve downward sloping?
Marginal cost curve is u-shaped curve, this is due to law of variable proportion(return to factors), firstly, there is an increasing return (i.e, decreasing cost) then there is a stage of constant returns (i.e, constant cost) then lastly comes the stage of decreasing returns (i.e increasing cost), that`s why marginal cost curve first slopes downward and then slope upward and become u-shaped.
The derivative finds the of a curve?
The gradient of the tangents to the curve.
What is the gradient of a sine curve?
Cosine
Is the function that cuts through the points (2 3) and (-1 6) increasing or decreasing?
Overall "on average" it will increase between those points (as the y value of the greater x valued point is greater than the y of the lesser x valued point), but it could be a curve that has sections that increase and other sections that decrease.
How to calculate the gradient from the non linear graph?
Draw a tangent to the curve at the point where you need the gradient and find the gradient of the line by using gradient = up divided by across
What is the gradient of the tangent to the curve at x equals 2 if Y equals x2?
Gradient to the curve at any point is the derivative of y = x2 So the gradient is d/dx of x2 = 2x. When x = 2, 2x = 4 so the gradient of the tangent at x = 2 is 4.
