What information does the graph of a function provide with respect to the algebraic equation?
The coordinates of the points on the curve represent solutions of the equation.
What is the difference between a linear curve and a parabolic curve?
a linear curve does not represent x^2
What is a closed curve with all points on the curve an equal distance from a given point?
circle
How is a frequency curve in statistics different from a frequency polygon?
In order to plot the points on either the frequency polygon or curve, the mid values of the class intervals of the distribution are calculated. Then the frequencies with respect to the mid points are plotted. However in a frequency curve the points are joined by a smooth curve, where as in a frequency polygon the points are joined by straight lines. Apart from this major difference, a frequency polygon is a closed figure where as the frequency curve is not.
What conic sections represent a closed curve?
Ellipse circle
What does a point inside a production possibilities curve represent?
A point inside a production possibilities curve represents things that can be produced. However, points inside the curve would be less efficient to produce than those points resting directly on the line.
Which side of the stream is shallower the inside curve or outside?
Since the outside curve has a higher velocity, it has more erosion meaning the inside curve has a slower velocity more deposition causing it to be shallower. The outside curve is deep.
What is a curve that is higher on the outside than it is on the inside called?
A banked curve.
Compare the rate of water flow on the inside of a meander curve with that on the outside of the curve?
No
What do the points on a market supply curve represent?
Each point on a market supply curve denotes basically the same thing. Each point on the curve corresponds to the supply of something, but at a specific or given price.
What Most rivers curve or meander. Water travels more slowly on the outside of the curve and more quickly on the inside of the curve Which statement is true?
A river's current slow down and tend to meander across a flat valley floor. The river's current is faster on the outside of the bend, and slower on the inside.
What information does the graph of a function provide with respect to the algebraic equation?
The coordinates of the points on the curve represent solutions of the equation.
A closed curve around two points?
A continuous curve surrounding two points will be called an ellipse. Very strictly speaking, the ellipse, circle, etc is the bit inside the curve. e.g. " a circle is bounded by ... "* * * * *Even more strictly speaking, it is any closed curve around two points - it could wobble all over the place.
What is a straight line that intersects a curve?
A straight line that intersects a circle or curve at two points, but which has both end points outside the circle or curve is called a secant. A straight line that links two points on a circle or curve is called a chord. A straight line which touches a circle or curve at one point is called a tangent. A straight line that cuts a circle or curve at one point is a straight line.* For moving diagrams see Related links below this box.
When was Points on the Curve created?
Points on the Curve was created on 1984-01-16.
What is the difference between a linear curve and a parabolic curve?
a linear curve does not represent x^2
Why does sediment erode on the outside curve of a stream?
Rivers "carry" their sediment load only as long as the velocity of the water remains high enough to create sufficient turbulence to keep the particles "stirred up". Once a river loses its velocity and the stirring effect of the turbulence subsides the sediment load can no longer remain suspended in the water. At this point gravity takes over and the river begins to "drop" its sediments in a process named deposition.Now a river going around a curve is like two tires at each end of an axle going around a curve. The tire on the outside of the curve has to move faster than the tire on the inside of the curve since it has a longer radius of travel. So too the water in the river moves faster at the outside of the curve than the water inside the curve. Between the two different water velocities the deposition is going to occur on the inside curve of the river where the water loses its velocity.Conversely, the opposite of deposition which is erosion will take place at the outside of the curve in the river.
