What shape has the most sides?

You cannot answer this with a normal shape. Any shape given would have less an infinite sides. The exception to this would BE the shape with infinite sides and therefore by the same token, an infinite perimeter. So, the answer would be a "Fractal"


What is half of parabola?

A curve. It would be called a parabolic curve.


How would you describe the shape square?

Polygon with four sides identical in length, four angles, all of which are 90 degrees.


What is the difference between normal and perpendicular?

in 2 and 3 dimensions they turn out to be pretty much the same, but what would perpendicular mean in 4 or 6 dimensions? For example a line perpendicular to another intersects it and creates a 90 degree angle, it is also normal and a line can be normal to a plane also. Normal is a more general term that can be used in higher dimensions and other setting where perpendicular might make no sense. For example, if you know what a dot product is that two vectors are normal if their dot product is zero, These may be n dimensional vectors and perpendicular would make no sense. In many more abstract settings normal works but perpendicular would have no meaning at all. There are more technical explanations but I hope to make this answer more intuitive! There is a very slight difference between NORMAL and PERPENDICULAR. Well NORMAL is that perpendicular which is drawn at the contact point between two meeting lines. Its simple as this. For example in case of tangents (which is drawn to find the direction of a point in a curve) the perpendicular draw at the meeting point of the tangent and the curve is called normal. Its like, every normal is a perpendicular but all perpendiculars are not normal. I hope this clears all your doubt.


What is difference between curvature and radius of curvature?

Curvature is a general term to describe a graph. Like, concave or convex. Radius of curvature is more exact. If the curve in a 'small' section is allow to continue with the same curvature it would form a circle. that PRETEND circle would have an exact radius. That is the radius of curvature.

What type of correlation is one that curved?

Correlation cannot accurately describe any type of curve. The correlation of a curve would be a linear approximation rather than an accurate description of the data. Giving a function would more accurately describe data that lies on a curve.


If you are given the equation of an normal sine curve how would you determine its period?

a normal sine curve exists with the formula Asin(Bx+C)+D. The formula to derive a phase shift would be such: 2pi/B (for whatever value B exists at). Thus, for a normal sine curve (sin(x) we would get 2pi/1, and arrive at 2pi for the period.


Which normal distribution is also the standard normal curve?

The normal distribution would be a standard normal distribution if it had a mean of 0 and standard deviation of 1.

How will you describe the graph of distance vs. time squared?

The graph of distance vs. time squared will usually be a curve rather than a straight line. This curve represents a non-uniform acceleration or changing velocity over time, as opposed to constant velocity where the graph would be a straight line. The shape of the curve will depend on the specific relationship between distance and time squared in the given scenario.
