as the word relates to Limits (the first thing you learn in a Calculus class...)
Imagine this Function: f(x)= 1/x (one divided by X)
now, start replacing x with larger and LARGER INTEGERS, starting with 1..
x=1, then 1/1 = 1
x=2, then 1/2 = (one half)
x=3, then 1/3 = (one third)
x=2759, then 1/2759 (a small number!)
x= 1398762358013761, then 1/13987623... (AN EVEN SMALLER NUMBER)
the bigger you make X, the smaller the value 1/x is...
so, one says the Limit of 1/x , as x TENDS to infinity (gets bigger bigger bigger) is 0.
1/x never equals 0 it just keeps getting smaller and smaller as x gets bigger and bigger ( tends to infinity)

What does the measure of the central tendency mode in math?
The mode is the observation that features most often.
When you have two modes in math what do you do?
If you're talking about measures of central tendency, if you have two modes put both of them down as the answer.
Why are three different measures needed in math measures of central tendency and dispersion?
There are more than three measures. Some are better than others in some situations but not as good in other situations.
Another math term for average?
Mathematical term for average is usually arithmetic MEAN. Actually any measure of central tendency like mean , median and mode could be used in common language as the average.
Why is it being called central tendency?
It is called central tendency because it represents the averages. Central tendency has three measurements: # Mean # Mode # Median
What does central tendency mean in math terms?
Measures of central tendency are the mean, median, range, mode ect.
What does the word central tendency mean in math?
"Central tendency" is a phrase comprising TWO words, it is not a word. Central tendency refers to the tendency of some data sets to collect around their middle value.
What is the significance of the median in math?
It is a measure of the central tendency for a set of observations.
What does the measure of the central tendency mode in math?
The mode is the observation that features most often.
What means attitude for math?
A tendency to respond positively or negatively towards ideas or situations.
What is the measure of centeral tendency in math?
Just ask a math teacher Im sure they'll know
When you have two modes in math what do you do?
If you're talking about measures of central tendency, if you have two modes put both of them down as the answer.
Why do we use mean median mode and range to solve math problems?
We use mean for measure the central tendency and mode for observed most common value of observation.
What is central tendency?
Though mean, median, and mode is central tendency, it is hard to put this into words.For an example:Your average grade in math class is an A. Though, how did you calculate that average? Well, since average means mean, you calculated that average using the method of central tendency, or in this situation, you found the mean.In other words, central tendency is just a method (mean, median and mode) to find the average, middle, and most occurring score or number in a set of data.I hope this helped! ;D~Lovingless
What is an antonym for the word tendency?
The antonym for the word "tendency" is "disinclination."
Why are three different measures needed in math measures of central tendency and dispersion?
There are more than three measures. Some are better than others in some situations but not as good in other situations.
