1.2 Basics of Functions and Their Graphs Introduction to Relations Domain and Range of a Relation Any set of ordered pairs (x‚y) is called a relation in x and y. Furthermore‚ The set of first components in the ordered pairs is called the domain of the relation. The set of second components in the ordered pairs is called the range of the relation. Definition of Function and Vertical Line Test Definition of a Function Given a relation in x and y‚ we say “y is a function of x” if for every

Running head: LEARNING CURVE THEORY Learning Curve Theory Learning Curve Theory Learning curves play an important role in today’s marketplace. The main principle behind learning curves is that the more times an individual or organization repeats a process‚ there will be an increase in experience and efficiency. A learning curve graphically represents the rate of improvement in performing a task or function over time (Learning Curve‚ 2006). This paper will provide a discussion about applying

TOTAL PRODUCT CURVE: A curve that graphically represents the relation between total production by a firm in the short run and the quantity of a variable input added to a fixed input. When constructing this curve‚ it is assumed that total product changes from changes in the quantity of a variable input (like labor)‚ while other inputs (like capital) are fixed. This is one of three key product curves used in the analysis of short-run production. The other two are marginal product curve and average product

------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------- Speed Speed is defined as a measure of the distance an object travels in a given length of time. The average speed of an object can be determined from the equation below: Thus‚ if a car travels 100 meters in 5 seconds its average speed can be calculated as; Average speed = 100/5 = 20 meters per second Average speed is used to give the speed of an object over a given interval of time‚ if
