Question

How to identify a curve just by looking on its equation?

Answer 1

check the indicies

Answer 2

But indices wont give me the exact answer which curve is it...

Answer 3

e.g. if i give x^3 +y^3 = k....how will i identify which curve is it??

Answer 4

ok let me tell you something interesting

Answer 5

if you have the curve with n as highest power then this curve must have (n-1) turn

Examples

y=x^2 (max power is two so it must have one turn)

similarly
y=x^3
will have the most two turns


m not that much good in graphing it :)
