Can a gradient of a line be 0?
Theoretically, yes. For lines parallel to y-axis, gradient is zero. Eg, x=4.
Is it always true that for any polynomial px if x is a zero of the derivative then x px is a maximum or minimum value of px?
No. The important decider is the second derivative of the polynomial (the gradient of the gradient of the polynomial) at the zero of the first derivative: If less than zero, then the point is a maximum If more than zero, then the point in a minimum If equal to zero, then the point is a point of inflection. Consider the polynomial f(x) = x3, then f'(x) = 3x2 f'(0) = 0 -> x = 0 could be a maximum, minimum or point of inflection. f''(x) = 6x f''(0) = 0 -> x = 0 is a point of inflection Points of inflection do not necessarily have a zero gradient, unlike maxima and minima which must. Points of inflection are the zeros of the second derivative of the polynomial.
What is a horizontal in math?
Here's a horizontal ------- Here are some verticals .... arranged horizontally
How do you use rise and run math?
Provided the run is not zero, rise/run gives the gradient, or slope, between two points.
What is the slope of a line that is parrel to the y- axis?
The slope (or gradient) if the line is parallel to the y-axis, is infinite. If it's parallel to the x-axis the slope is zero.
Name three particle accelerators in the US and describe the type of experiments each accelerator is designed to perform?
Examples of three particle accelerators in the US are the isochronous cyclotron, alternating gradient synchrotron and a calutron. An isochronous cyclotron is used for proton therapy. An alternating gradient synchrotron is used to inject heavy ions, and a calutron was used to separate isotopes for the Manhattan project,
How is synchrotron radiation produced?
Synchrotron radiation is electromagnetic radiation caused by radically accelerated particles. Typically, a synchrotron accelerator is used in production of synchrotron radiation.
Why curl of electrical field is zero?
Because Electric field can be expressed as the gradient of a scalar. Curl of a gradient is always zero by rules of vector calculus.
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.
Can a gradient of a line be 0?
Theoretically, yes. For lines parallel to y-axis, gradient is zero. Eg, x=4.
What are the ratings and certificates for Synchrotron - 2009?

If a straight line graph has a gradient of zero it must be horizontal?
120?
A synchrotron can accelerate charged particles to high speeds because?
A synchrotron has a time-dependent guiding magnetic field.
When will one get a negative gradient for acceleration due to gravity experiment?
From Newton's Law, the force due to gravity is:F = -mg, (Force = -mass*accgra)-mg is a constant so taking the gradient will give you zero. Therefore, your answer is zero. Now, if you took the gradient of velocity, your answer would be a negative constant.
When was the synchrotron invented?
The synchrotron was invented and first constructed by Edward McMillan in 1945. The machine is a particle accelerator that is derived from the cyclotron.
What is the slope for the equation y equals -3?
The slope (or gradient) of a vertical or horizontal line is zero.
