secant

Examples

• All

• The secant slope of the middle 80 percent of the ramp response was used to determine E in by using equation 1.

  Academic text (1994)

• This line is called a secant line, Secant line.

• And the slope of the secant line, it's rise over run.

  The Math Sorcerer

• So you know, the secant graph looks something like that.

• So the secant line becomes the tangent line.

  NancyPi

• Our numerical approximations will rely upon the slope of the secant to the graph.

• The yield drift 5y was defined using the secant stiffness corresponding to 75% of the peak strength. The ultimate drift 5u was defined as the post-peak drift corresponding to 75% of the peak strength.

• In mathematics, a secant is a straight line that intersects a curve at two distinct points.

• To find the average rate of change, we use the slope of the secant line connecting two points on the graph.

• The diagram clearly shows the secant cutting through the circle at two locations.
