A positive gradient is a characteristic of a function whose value increases as the value of the argument increases.
So, if y is a function, f(x), of x, then an increase in the value of x is accompanied by an increase in the value of y.

Not at all. If the two variables have a negative correlation, that is as on increases the other decreases, then the line of best fit would have a negative gradient.
A boundary layer in math is a region of very large values of the gradient of a certain function. It is also stated that a boundary layer has its origin in fluid dynamics.
negative. why is this question in math when it should be in chemistry?
Well, honey, if you're adding a positive number with another positive number, the sum will be positive. So, in this case, 71 and 43 are both positive, so their sum will definitely be positive without needing to do the actual math. Math can be a real pain, but sometimes it's just that simple.
When you subtract the smaller number from the larger number in the problem. The answer should always be positive.
