A straight curve with no end points?
You had us baffled at "straight curve" . Could you mean if you start at the north pole, walk in a straight line, you will eventually get back to the north pole and round in a circle. Hence a straight line but no end points.
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.
What is a curve?
A geometrical curve is defined as any set of points. Therefore, counter-intuitively, a straight line is also a geometrical curve.
Whatdoes the word chord mean in math?
It is a straight line joining two different points on a curve which does not cross the curve between those two points.
Which is a secant?
Secant is a straight line that intersects a curve at two or more points
What is the name for a bend in a straight road?
a curve... Well that could be an answer however it is not possible to have a bend or a curve 'in' a straight road. A curve or bend is, by definition, after the end of one straight section and before the beginning of the next; so it can not be 'in' a straight road.
What is a line beginning at an end point and extending infinitely in one direction?
The set of points on a straight curve that extends to infinity in both directions is a line. A ray is the set of points that lie on a straight curve that is terminated at a point, and continues to infinity. It is also called a half-line. If the set is terminated at a point at both ends, then it is a line segment.
What is the difference between an arc and a chord?
If you take two distinct points on a curve, the arc is the part of the curve connecting the two points while the chord is the straight line connecting them.
What do you call a straight line joining two points on an arc curve or circle?
A chord.
What is a figure that has no end points?
A straight line other than a line segment which does have end points.
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.
Area under graph?
Is the integral of the curve - between the two end points.
