I have a graph that looks like that and I need to know the name of it. PLEASE HELP!

Alright, I don't mean to pick on you, but you know better than to not tell us what class the graph is for....

Anyway, since you didn't specify, that's a demand curve in economics...

^If it is for Economics, then I label them as " Demand of 'nameofgood/servicehere' " I also indicate if it is short-term or long-term (if that is needed).

if it is algebra ID say a parabola =]

...

Actually, no. A parabola looks like this:






If you want a term used for geometry in algebra, I think it would be a NONLINEAR DOWNSLOPING CURVE.

Wow, let's try to be productive and just tell her what type of graph the damn thing is w/o trying to be a smartass and bust out economics shit? Did you notice that in her profile, it says that she's born in 1989? Do people born in 1989 take Economics? No. Unless she's a genius, but then she wouldn't be asking this question... No offense.

Most likely, it's an exponential DECAY graph, like a half life problem.
Example:


But then, it could also be an inverse graph... but unlikely.

Why don't you not be a dumbass and read the whole thread, including the rules? If you haven't noticed (obviously not), specificity is key. How the Hell would YOU know if she's not in economics? That's right, you don't. AND for your information, I learned about economics in 8th grade, and I'm no genius. Please don't assume. The rules are there so that people can give a straight answer.

Graphs like those are not uncommon, OBVIOUSLY. That's why I asked for her to be specific. Why the Hell do I have look into her profile when she could have given me an EASIER time to help her?

Pluhlezzze.

Oh, and how is that that you're not a smart ass for giving her two answers, one having to do with science and the other for math? Why is giving her an economics answer being a smartass? If anyone's an ass, well...

hm. i just learned that a month or two ago. but i cant think of it. grr... but id go with nonlinear.

parabola right?

*patpat*

It's a portion of a parabola. Haha.

radioactive decay graph? like calculating half-lives?
agree with visualfusion

To the topic starter: since you haven't responded, I'm closing this thread. Should you need it to be open, just PM a staff person.
