Oblique asymptotes are diagonal lines so that the difference between the curve and the line approaches 0 as x tends to +∞ or −∞.

In general, the difference between a statistics program and a biostatistics program is twofold: ( i ) statistics departments will often host theoretical / methodological research which are less common in biostatistics programs and ( ii ) statistics departments have lines of research that may include biomedical applications but also other areas such as industry ( quality control ), business and economics and biological areas other than medicine.

The derivative is the value of the difference quotient as the secant lines approach the tangent line.

Consequently the secant lines do not approach any single slope, so the limit of the difference quotient does not exist.

Despite the difference in V angles, the Mercedes 60 ° V6s are built on the same assembly lines as 90 ° V8s.

This set is a cycle in the dual number plane ; since the equation setting the difference in slopes of the lines to a constant is a quadratic equation in the real part of z, a cycle is a parabola.

The key difference is that the number sign has true horizontal strokes while the sharp sign has two slanted parallel lines which must rise from left to right, in order to avoid being confused with the musical staff lines.

Then these BL and < span style =" text-decoration: overline ;"> BL </ span > will have a small difference of delta between them and then these lines reach a sense amplifier, which will sense which line has higher voltage and thus will tell whether there was 1 stored or 0.

Routine replacement of lines makes no difference in preventing infection.

The noble sentiment of line 1 seems to be original yet the vocabulary is entirely Homeric and, though lines 5 – 7 are adapted from Homer's Iliad ( 13. 130 – 33 ), there is an important difference: Homer describes the advance of one side in close formation, whereas Tyrtaeus describes two sides meeting in the hoplite style of fighting.
