The production possibility curve (PPC) is a two dimensional model, showing how resources can be used to produce two different goods or services or types of good and services.

The graph is bowed outwards due to a basic concept used in economics - the principle of increasing cost. If a producer were to produce more of one good or service, the constant in resources and technology would not be able to maintain the previous amount of production of the other good or service.

If more of one good or service is produced, the opportunity cost of the reduction of the other good or service increases, therefore the gradient of the curve increases.

How does a recurve work?

if you are asking about a re-curve bow: When strung and held properly, the bow curves towards the holder then, at the top and bottom, the bow has a sharp bend away, towards the target. When unstrung, the bow is bent entirely towards the target, which leads many people to improperly string, and sometimes break re-curve bows. This design gives the bowstring more tension which in turn gives the arrow more force. Sorry if you were asking about something other than a re-curve bow.
