CURVE SKETCHING This is a handout that will help you systematically sketch functions on a coordinate plane. This handout also contains definitions of relevant terms needed for curve sketching. Another handout available in the Tutoring Center has 3 sample problems worked out completely. ASYMPTOTES: This handout will discuss three kinds of asymptotes: vertical‚ horizontal‚ and slant. VERTICAL ASYMPTOTES We define the line x = c as a vertical asymptote of the graph of ‚ iff (if and only

The LM curve represents combinations of interest rates and income levels that result in equilibrium in the money market (money supply money demand)‚ for given M/P. The IS curve represents combinations of interest rates and income levels that result in equilibrium in the goods market (investment saving)‚ for given T and G. 2. Equilibrium must be at the ISLM intersection; only at that point does investment equal saving and the money supply equal money demand. At a point on the IS curve and to

Whether it is by making mistakes‚ by observing others‚ or repeating a process over again‚ it is human nature to learn. In their book The Bell Curve‚ Richard Herrnstein and Charles Murray disagree and hold the position that human intelligence is inborn and measurable by IQ‚ which In turn shows how much success a single individual will have in life. The Bell Curve supports a class system‚ arguing that the intelligent are likely to become ever more dominant and prosperous‚ while the unintelligent are falling

Bombay The long-run cost curve (LTC) is composed of a series of short-run cost curves. Assumes that the firm has only one plant‚ with the corresponding short-run cost curve given by STC1‚ Suppose the firm decides to add two more plants with associated two more short-run cost curves given by STC2 and STC3. Prof. Trupti Mishra‚ School of Management‚ IIT Bombay The long-run total cost curve (LTC) is then drawn through the minimum of the short-run cost curves‚ STC1‚STC2‚ and STC3. The

Learning Curve Analysis EATABLES A Learning Curve is an industrial tool or formula for the expected reduction of unit costs for large quantity production of components. Learning curves draw from historic building experience to determine expected reductions in labor and materials costs. Expected reductions can be gauged from the labor and materials content of the manufactured item‚ plus the number of doublings of the initial production run. Estimators will apply learning curves under guidance
