The inner curve refers to the boundary or edge of a shape or graph that is closest to the center. It represents the minimum values or points on a graph.
Think about peeling an onion. As you remove each layer, you get closer and closer to its core. Similarly, as you move towards an inner curve on a graph, you are getting closer to its minimum values.
Outer curve: The outer curve refers to the boundary or edge of a shape or graph that is farthest away from the center. It represents maximum values on a graph.
Minimum value: The minimum value is the lowest point or smallest number in a set of data or on a graph.
Core: In this context, core refers to something central and essential, just like how an inner curve represents values closest to it in relation to other curves.
