Definition of Curve

Curve is a line that is not straight.

More about Curve

A curve can be classified into two categories, an open curve or a closed curve.

Examples of Curve

Figure 1 is a closed curve and Figure 2 is an open curve.

Solved Example on Curve

Which of the following is an open curve?
Choices:
A. circle
B. ellipse
C. parabola
D. none of the above
Correct Answer: C
Solution:
Step 1: In an open curve starting and end points are different.
Step 2: Here, parabola has different end points.
Step 3: So, parabola is an open curve.
