Q: How to Draw a Graph with Interval Y Values?

AI Thread Summary
To draw a graph with interval y values, plot horizontal lines at the specified y values for each interval. For example, between x = 0 and x = 1000, draw a line at y = 20, and between x = 1000 and x = 2000, draw a line at y = 30. The graph will consist of two horizontal segments corresponding to these intervals. The term "prettier" values likely refers to using more aesthetically pleasing or rounded numbers instead of the exact values. Understanding how to represent interval data visually is crucial for accurate graphing.

How do I draw a graph, when all y values are for intervals. Example: 0-1000: 20, 1000-2000: 30. i tried the middle value, but according to the correct answers they had used "prettier" values.

Do you mean, all the x values are for intervals? Usually, when there are two variables, they are x and y, with the x values along the horizontal axis, and the y values along the vertical axis.

If I understand what you're asking, in your example, between x = 0 and x = 1000, the y value is 20. Between x = 1000 and x = 2000, the y value is 30. In the first part of the graph (between 0 and 1000), the graph is a horizontal line, 20 units up from the x axis. In the second part (between 1000 and 2000), the graph is a horizontal line 30 units above the x axis.

What do you mean by, "they used 'prettier' values"?
 

Thread 'Non-orthogonal bases'

Suppose ,instead of the usual x,y coordinate system with an I basis vector along the x -axis and a corresponding j basis vector along the y-axis we instead have a different pair of basis vectors ,call them e and f along their respective axes. I have seen that this is an important subject in maths My question is what physical applications does such a model apply to? I am asking here because I have devoted quite a lot of time in the past to understanding convectors and the dual...

Thread 'What Exactly is Dirac’s Delta Function? - Insight'

Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
