The differences are important because Axis II disorders are only personality disorders and mental retardation (Trait disorders as opposed to the state disorders listed on Axis I). Axis II disorders are those that have an enduring pattern which is inflexible and pervasive across a broad range of personal and social situations. The individuals pattern is stable of long duration and its onset can be traced back at least to adolescence or early adulthood. Axis I disorders conversely are may not be as pervasive and carry throughout ones lifespan. It is important to list Axis II disorders separately from Axis I so that the clinician will give adequate consideration to it as they might otherwise be overlooked in the face of the more florid Axis I disorders.

Why is a scale of 1 appropriate for the x-axis?

A scale of 1 is appropriate for the x-axis when the data being represented has a uniform or equal interval, allowing for clear comparison between values. This scale helps to maintain proportionality and ensures that the visual representation accurately reflects the differences among the data points. Additionally, using a scale of 1 can simplify interpretation, making it easier for viewers to grasp the relationships and trends in the data.

What are the major and minor axis of a hyperbola?

The major axis is the axis that cuts, or goes between the two vertices of the hyperbola. The minor axis is perpendicular to the major axis and is an axis of symmetry. If the hyperbola is defined by: x^2/a^2 - y^2/b^2=1 where x^2 is x squared. Then the major axis is 2a units long, and the minor axis is 2b units long.
